Alice Jennex

My work explores self-understanding through the evocation of landscapes, combined with the materiality of watercolour paint (thin, thick, textural, and abstracted watermarks) and gestures of the human form. This work is part of an ongoing investigation which aims to elaborate on a model of emotion in self-portraiture and figurative art and explores how emotional content is generated by internal (bodily) and external experiences (landscapes). To convey a collage, both a landscape and a gestural, figurative drawing aesthetic are presented in work that is intentionally subtle and spacious.
