Artist Statement:
I am interested in the
angelic, diabolic, dynamic
curvaceous forms and hues of
nature foreboding intersection
with contemporary culture.
Thick pitter patter blobs of
paint dominate the flat
surface. Underneath are
underpaintings of words of
emotions as well as snapshots
of scenery or abstract
collaborations with my nephew.
The calculated bleeding and
blending of paint caused by
chemical reactions demonstrate
the serendipity of life –
sometimes successful and
sometimes hardly noticeable.
Visually the paintings
confront the viewer on an
aesthetic subjective level
regarding style. Synthesizing
techniques used by the Fauves,
Pointillists and Abstract
Expressionists, I enlarge the
dots, turn color and form into
camouflage, create, destroy
and let the will of the paint
and mineral spirits dictate
the transitions. ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Allison Compton, a Virginia native, is a social, spontaneous, intellectual artist who likes to laugh and think of dreams as reality. You'll catch her jotting/sketching an idea or reading something that will inspires her next scheme. She earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Previously, she studied art history at Virginia Commonwealth University and took classes at the Virginia Museum Studio School. She earned a BA from Mary Baldwin College. These degrees and experiences enable her to tackle and execute conceptual projects such as tapping into the spirit of the Wild West. She currently lives in western Montana and will move to Richmond, VA this Fall to teach painting classes. Wonder what will inspire her color-specific art? |
