The New Blue and White Vase

Creator: Alice Mumford
Offered by: White Court Art

Description
The temprature in my studio seems to alter what I paint and the way I paint! I generally turn in during the cooler months and this is one such painting. In the summer I want to throw the windows open and let the air in. When its hot in the studio the paint is more liquid and when cool more difficult to move around.

Born in Columbia in 1965, Alice studied at Camberwell School of Art, and is regarded by some as representing the contemporary link between that prestigious academy, and the values of the St. Ives School. Alice is part of an artistic dynasty, related to Daphne and Emma McClure, as well as being the daughter of the well known watercolourist J.Q. Treloar

Alice Mumford has had one man shows with The Belgrave Gallery in London, Badcocks in Newlyn and most recently with The Piers Feetham Gallery in London. She was elected a member of the RWA in 2014. She is also a much loved tutor at the Painting School in St Ives.

‘When looking at Alice’s work, the influence of Bonnard comes to mind. Whereas he did not paint from nature but from drawings, Alice paints directly on the spot, her subject matter mainly confined to still-life found in the rooms in her house. Though grateful for the discipline of drawing she gained at Camberwell, she now feels a sense of freedom that she can paint the objects around her, very aware of the light that transforms and the colour that excites her. There is a freedom of touch which evokes a sense of a particular place and a certain light.’ Anthony Ayton, RA

I think Alice has an ability to capture light like no other artist, and to impart a sense, place and peace.
