Annie Ralli Art

I’m thrilled to have been commissioned to design and hand-paint the new front-of-house reception desk for the .

The brief was ‘Bloomsbury meets CAC’, drawing inspiration from the Bloomsbury Group artists and the hand-painted furniture at Charleston House. My design features unique elements of the club—Venus’s nook in the Garden, Friday night jazz in the billiard room, lively chats at the Big Table in the dining room, and the iconic bar, complete with a trompe l’oeil cat, Lily, catching a moth.

My mum Marie-Thérèse Ralli (née Deflandre) born May 7th 1916 would have been 106 years old today!

She studied life drawing, still-life, watercolour painting and History of Art under Henriette Bosche at the Atelier Henriette Bosche where she was awarded the Boshe Diploma.

She also took lessons in oil painting under artist Henri Logelain. This picture is of her at the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts Bruxelles where she was awarded 1er prix, the highest grade of Diploma.

Over the years she was a prolific artist producing a considerable amount of beautiful works of art.

I miss her very much ❤️
