In our A Portfolio after the long weekend, we look at French-born, Brussels-based painter, Anastasia Bay. With works with Nicodim right now and a solo show at Venus Over Manhattan earlier this year, it seemed like a good time to check in with the artist. 

Anastasia Bay (b. 1988, France) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. She holds a BA from Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris which she earned in 2012 after studying under François Boisrond. Bay’s work has been featured in numerous presentations including shows at Galerie Derouillon, Paris; Anna Zorina Gallery, New York; Sorry We’re Closed, Brussels; White House Gallery, Lovenjoel; and Spurs Gallery, Beijing among others. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of many public institutions, including the Fondation Lafayette Anticipations, Paris; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; X Museum, Beijing and the Zuzeum Museum, Riga.
