Anne von Freyburg (b. 1979) is a Dutch artist based in London. She received her MFA from Goldsmiths (2016) and holds a BA in Fashion Design from ArtEZ Arnhem, The Netherlands. Von Freyburg is the winner of the Robert Walters UK New Artists Award (2021) and has exhibited twice at Saatchi Gallery, London. She was nominated for The Ingram Prize (2021) and took part in the Cob x PLOP Winter Residency followed by an exhibition in November (2021). Her work was part of the Tapestry Triennial at the Central Textile Museum in Lodz, Poland (2022) one of the most prominent international textile museums worldwide and the renowned textile exhibition 32 Miniartextil in Como Italy. Von Freyburg’s work is in several international private collections. Her large-scale textile paintings are reconstructed Rococo portraits made out of a mixture of tapestry and contemporary fashion fabrics.The imagery focuses on a stylized idea around feminine beauty as found in the tradition of the French 18th-century artists Boucher and Fragonard. Von Freyburg attempts to raise questions about taste, femininity, high and low art, and the constructs of female identity. The appropriated paintings are created with acrylic ink which is translated into hand-stitched fabrics and sewing techniques that give the work a quasi bodily presence. While on one hand von Freyburg's works are playful and reference the decorative quality of their sources, on the other, their over-indulgence points to the excesses of throwaway fashion culture, selfies, and consumerism. By combining fine art with applied art in a conceptual way she aims at blurring the boundaries between them.
