The artwork has been created
Alanna is a London based painter. She began her career while studying at Central Saint Martins.
Alanna’s artwork takes on two forms, one expressive and the other controlled and figurative. Her notion derives from the same impulse, a fascination with ‘vintage’ and upcycling. An intent to renew and revive vibrant patterns, florals and kitsch figurines.
In this body of abstract work Alanna has an initial immediacy in her method and an urgency to create her vision. Alanna balances the colour around the canvas using a mixture of acrylic media to layer, edit and experiment on canvas. The result establishes a concise colour palette and leads the viewer to a thought-provoking nostalgia.

Biography:
Alanna is a south London based painter. She works with mixed mediums on stretched canvas and on paper.
Alanna’s vibrant abstract paintings are both expressive and controlled. When she works there is an initial immediacy, primarily inspired by colours and patterns in nature, antique pottery, and vintage fabrics. In her urgency to create her vision, she begins working quickly, balancing the paint around the surface using a mixture of acrylic mediums to layer, edit and experiment.
Later her paintings evolve as part of the creative process and therefore become a harmony of spontaneity and control. The result establishes a concise colour palette which she then works into carefully with small details
