Faye Allison
About
Devon based figurative artist using oils and mixed media
Statement
Faye is a Fashion Illustration Graduate who honed her painting style whilst enjoying the nightlife and subcultures of London. Since becoming a Mother, she has actualized her dream of painting figures in a traditional medium with the figure composed in alla prima oils - full of rich, buttery texture. Despite the classic medium, she uses a hyper coloured palette - often introducing fluro acrylic highlights, spray paint and sometimes collage. Text daubed into the background in a more naive fashion contrasts with the attention she gives the main body of the work, perhaps a nod to the grunge spirit of her youth.
