Alice Kemp
Alice Kemp (British, b. 1987) finds inspiration in nature and the mundane, painting traditionally decorative subjects like plants, flowers, animals and landscapes yet choosing to accentuate both their beauty and inherent asymmetry, what she describes as natural “crookedness or bulginess”. Influenced by the Japanese approach to art where the distance between art, decoration and nature is shorter, she approaches her subjects with a conscious mix of expression and restraint, minimalism and visual overload.
Alice Kemp is a graduate of University College Falmouth (2010), Central Saint Martins (2016) and University College London (2019). She lives and works in London.
