A collection of contemporary paintings on canvas

​

Alison's works are bold abstracts on canvas which fuse drawing alongside planes of colour and texture to create dynamic and playful compositions. The painted elements build in a sculptural fashion using a mix of surface treatments in contrast to one another. Sketched charcoal lines weave across the raw canvas creating a fragility in comparison to the clean smooth forms of solid ground. Each form supports the next which both alleviates and builds tension in tandem. The paintings depict an architecture of emotions which simultaneously unravel and keep order at once suggesting an internal landscape in transition. A bold and complex palette of pop colours are softened by the neutrality of the raw canvas and deep tonal shades of ink.

Exploring formal painting qualities, Alison captures shape, light, colour and movement in stark contrasts explaining the complexity of human emotion with a sculptural sensibility on a two dimensional plane.
