Stage Apprehension Painting

Ally Fox is a fulltime artist painting with textures, acrylic and oil, using both brushes and pallet knives. Inspiration is derived from images and photographs which are then manipulated to create and entirely new image. Both abstract and figures fascinate her. In this body of work she aims to create a delicate balance between dreams and reality, both portraying real life and the ideal. Whilst the figures are visible, they also often blend into the background representing real life. Renown artists that have influenced her range from Gustav Klimt for his patterns and figures, Matisse for his play with light and minimal details, and Degas for his delicate representation of the female form. Ally has previously exhibited all over the UK with different bodies of work and has collectors worldwide, however this body of work is a new and exciting direction. Her artistic expression has gone through many phases over the years resulting in a highly personal approach and perspective. She is never content with standing still and is always looking for her next engaging project.
