Lost Battle Painting

Alison's work aims to have a sense of mystery and ambiguity, atmosphere and emotion play a major part too, this is derived from life experiences, memories and music. Often her work appears quite bold & simple from a distance but on closer inspection it becomes apparent there are far more complexities to the work, a compariison which can be parallelled to life. The techniques used in her work also follow the same theme, layering up translucencies of paint to create depth, then stripping back paint to expose the raw which are then worked back into again, producing interesting and complex results.Her brush strokes are sometimes gentle and soft other time fast and strong to create movement and this helps create such emotive pieces. Since studying art Alison has exhibited across the many UK galleries, Her work has also reached international scale with work hanging in Italy, America, France, and the Middle East .
