This painting was one which sat in my studio almost finished for a long time while I contemplated what it needed to bring it together. There was lots of lovely mark making and interest in the surface, but it needed the dark teal shapes to ground the composition and pull it all together.

Alison is a British contemporary abstract artist and painter, based in Somerset, England. With a degree in textile design, and many years of art making behind her, paintings are developed with a primary focus on colour, pattern and texture. She loves to explore ideas around visual contrasts and creates work that makes a bold visual statement from a distance, but also has richly layered surfaces full of depth and interest close to. Work is made intuitively, drawing on decades of visual memory. Inspiration can be a mood or feeling, a memory, a place, even a symbol or the power of a word or a phrase. This may sometimes be incorporated in the finished piece in the form of visible or abstracted text.
