Description
(1) Limited Edition 17"x25" Print of Mixed Media Art by Alison Lowe “Cracked” (may be displayed vertical or horizontal)
Alison Lowe (Platt) is a representational artist who looks at all her work as an exploration of both process and emotion. Her energy and charisma towards the creative process is at the heart of her art. Whether painting, drawing, or creating Mixed Media...it's the link between process and emotion that connects all of her work. Alison grew up in Livingston, New Jersey and attended the George Washington University where she was a dual major of Fine Art and Art History. After graduation she moved out to California and spent 10 years engrossed in Plein-Air painting as well as American Impressionism. While her children were young, she decided to study with contemporary artist George Small, whose studio was down the street. It was there where her artistic interest opened up to new subjects and new media. She approaches all of her work with the principles of art: shape, value, color, line, scale and composition. She is currently represented by the TAG Gallery in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica, CA.
Alison is pulling away from the comforts of her Plein-Air/oil painting background and working with a mixture of new media. Ink, gauche, pencil, and collage are combined with imagery to create organic art pieces. Each piece evolves as she works on them. Many times, the imagery included is influenced by the backgrounds created with oil based inks. Other times, pieces work against pure white paper, creating an interesting silhouette against the images added. Internally, Alison is tapping into her intuitive nature. Listening to the voice within, she pulls together images that create a story. Sometimes they are playful, including images of her kids and their friends. Other times, they are provocative and ethereal. All of these pieces are parts of herself. As this new group of work develops, themes are starting to emerge and subjects repeated.
