The American female was born on September 16, 1963, in Hollywood, California. Alison van Pelt was raised in Los Angeles, California. As she grew up, and her talents became clear. She decided to become an artist.
As she grew up, her formal education in art began in the 1970s, and studied in various educational institutes. In America, at UCLA, the University of California, and the Otis Parsons Institute, and in Italy, at the Florence Academy.
As she grew up in the 1970s, her artistic skills blossomed. The photorealistic style of her paintings was welcomed among her fans and critics during that time, where picture taking was being assimilated into the artistic world. They welcomed her evocative, distinct style, which identified with the feelings of that '70s age.
She was inspired by many other painters, such as Agnes Martin, Paramahansa Yogananda, Robert Rauschenberg, Helmut Newton, Yayoi Kusama, Hunter S. Thompson and Dan Millman. They gave the very talented and young American female artist the motivation and influence, which evolved into her unique, recognised style. She learned how to adapt the images of figures or other subjects and how she would paint them. Naturally she evolved her own methods, and discovered the complex process which is still hers today. Her beautiful, mystical, but purposefully-degraded interpretation of her subject, always brings her own conclusion to the finale.
Her passion was always the motivation for working through all the growing pains of producing the miracle of her technical methods. This essential technique revealed the human, but mysterious works she produced. She might begin by looking at a photograph, or another reference image which would have captivated her, and possible draw by hand first, or paint a more realistic portrait. Her complex obscuring technique of the original painting was the final stage in her unique process.
She has exhibited in many of the galleries as a solo artist in North America and Europe. Her unique artwork has been shown in the Fresno Art Museum and the Drayton Art Institute. Naturally, her works are in important public collections like the Armand Hammer Museum, the Harlem Studio Museum, etc. She now lives and works in California.
When you first see the paintings at a distance, most of her images may first appear soft, as if they might have been captured through a veil of some kind, but this changes as you approach more closely. When you focus nearer, you begin to see vertical lines, and then lines horizontally emerge, as a sort of weave.
Some critiques of this very gifted female artist have judged her paintings to be "abstract" artworks. But her answer to that observation is that to general art viewers, her way, her unique abstract process blends and merges the traditions of today's abstraction with portraiture. It is up to the viewer whether her paintings are stepping into the real world, or are truly receding into the deeper regions of the canvas. Why should the renown artist reply to this individual perception, it is really up to each individual mind to come to their own view.
