Anne Carney Raines’ background in scenic painting and fabrication informs her art practice, where she explores ideas of transitional space and topics around theatre. This painting plays with ideas of the theatre, as a place where the viewer and the theatre company come together to make an imagined space in the mind. The work opens up two types of imagined visual spaces. One is depicted in the scene of the set painting – and the other we gain a sense of with the view of the stairway leading down.

Anne Carney Raines was born in Nashville, Tennessee in the US and received her BFA in painting from Indiana University, also in the US. She currently lives in London. She was a two-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant while at the Royal College of Art, where she received her MA in Painting in 2021. Recent exhibitions of her work include London Grads Now at Saatchi Gallery, London; and New Contemporaries at Firstsite Gallery in 2021, and in South London Gallery in 2020.
