artist profile
Alison Simser
Oil and Acrylic
I am a contemporary painter, creating expressionist works of landscapes, animals and abstracts. I am inspired by the shapes and rhythms of nature and the innocent charm of animals. The daughter of an accomplished artist, my appreciation for art and art history began early in my teen years, when I started drawing and visiting art galleries with my father.
Painting is an explorative process for me and I am inclined to let my work evolve organically. My creative process is mainly about deconstructing my scene or subject, removing detail and building it back up through spirited colour choices, purposeful brushstrokes and expressive texture.
I paint subjects the way I feel them, so am less fussed with specifics and more focused on invoking sensation and spirit. I use a combination of loose and lively brush work, shapes and lines to give my work a feeling of movement. The end result is a dreamy scene, full of life and energy. When looking at my work, I wish the viewer to feel as though they are on the cusp of reality and a dream, with space and time to contemplate.
