Anne Goesel (b. 2000, Strasbourg, France) is a visual artist and printmaker specializing in water-based woodblock techniques. After studying for four years at Sokei Academy of Art & Design in Tokyo, Japan, she returned to Kent, UK, where she grew up. Anne’s work often depicts connections between forests and human figures, exploring tranquillity and introspection in her layered and intricate prints.
During her time in Tokyo, Anne earned recognition in several prominent exhibitions, including awards from The National University Print Exhibition and the prestigious Japan Print Association. She was selected for the "Young Printmakers Exhibition," a notable three-person showcase that highlights emerging talents in the field. She was awarded the Sokei prize upon graduation.
In her postgraduate research year, Anne's first residency took place in the rural mountain village of Otaki, Japan, where she conducted workshops for local residents of all ages, sharing her knowledge of woodblock techniques and participating in the local art community. She exhibited there in collaboration with musicians and performers.
