Anja Hessler

Anja Hessler (b. 1974) is a German/British artist and designer who is based in Ramsgate, UK. She creates one-of-a-kind contemporary mobile sculptures and objects from precious metals, copper, steel, aluminium, acrylic and wood.

Minimalism and Design as Art play a dominant role in Hessler's practice, drawing inspiration from the Modernism movement and in particular the Bauhaus ethos and its emphasis on the integration of art, design and craftsmanship.

She is captivated by the clean lines, symmetry, and spatial relationships found in architectural design. Hessler carefully considers the balance and proportions of her sculptures, orchestrating an intricate interplay of forms that evokes a sense of wonder, inviting the viewer into a realm where art, design, and the natural world coexist in harmonious unity.

Recognised as one of the foremost emerging artists in the field, Hessler has garnered acclaim for her work. In 2023, Saatchi Art acknowledged Hessler’s exceptional talent, naming her one of the top 23 artists to collect. Her captivating collections have earned her a prominent place in notable exhibitions throughout Europe and have found homes in various esteemed private collections across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States.
