Alice Peillon

(Born in United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Whilst not precisely minimal; Alice's collages do manage to express a certain expansiveness which hints at things unsaid within the measurements of the surface. This sense of a sparsely occupied space is all the more surprising on such a small scale. Painted marks are so reduced in these works that; where they appear; brushstrokes could be thought of as potential rather than fully formed. Pigment holds a subtle but powerful presence over these delicate surfaces. Through her unhurried experiments with paper; ink; fragments of photographic images; and painted gestures Alice is adding to the depth of findings by other exponents of the medium; artists such as Anne Ryan and Lyubov Popova.
