Alicia Brown Cultural impact

My work is representational with the main focus on the figure. As a classically trained artist, the style and techniques utilized in the art-making process is a more traditional approach, which includes painting and drawing. Oil painting has a long history and tradition, and the medium is not limiting the range of possibilities that exist with using oil paints is wha captivates and excites me throughout the process of creating work.

Through the exploration of the fundamentals of color, form, space, lines and texture, I focus on capturing the realistic and emotive qualities of my subjects using a combination of painting languages and techniques to produce a unique and powerful effect.
