Item Description
Wax, oil, paint on panel. 13"x 16".
My vision is to transform traditional materials, by layering them into a painting that reveals its own deep history. I want my work to reflect light, and make the viewer think about where that light comes from, and the process by which illumination is achieved.
Alise Loebelsohn graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in painting. She studied in France and at the Art Students League in NYC. While at Pratt, she worked for an organization that created murals in hospitals and mental institutions in deep need of beautification. Alise ran the studio for two years, helping with color decisions and also giving others help with technique and process.
While still in college she proposed and created a 132’ long fish mural on the boardwalk in Coney Island. She received a grant from Dewey Albert (owner of the amusement park next door.) and then he hired her to work for him.
Alise then worked for Evergreene Painting Studios for several years, travelling and executing large outdoor murals mainly for the Architect Richard Haas. One job included stenciling the Old Executive Office Building at the White House for over a year.
From 1987-1994, Alise worked as the only female billboard painter in NYC. While there she painted the DKNY add on Houston Street. She worked in Times Square and on numerous billboards all over NYC.
