Alice Sherborne is a self-taught artist from London with a professional background in the TV & Film industry. She has spent much of her life outside of the city; in rural Yorkshire, summers on the Dorset coast and more recently volunteering on remote organic farms and eco-projects in New Zealand. This duality between natural and urban landscapes is at the core of her work.
I create obscure forms in oil paint and pastel, envisioning memories and thoughts as warped symbols; shapes that carry meaning rather than depict it. The forms unfurl, toeing the line between abstract and figurative: what might initially read as flora, stems curling outward, never fully asserts itself as literal. Instead, they hover, open to interpretation.
By creating these intangible shapes, I push back against the rigid, branded forms that surround us, logos, flags, corporate insignia, and their distance from the organic world. The sprouting line of a stem in one piece, the swollen shape of a root bulb in another: both point to the unseen connections between living things, and to an idea of matter that exists before it takes physical form.
Alice also works as a freelance graphic designer with experience creating logos for small business brands, prop graphic creations and stylised illustration graphics.
Commissions for a new graphics project or an original piece of art are open.
