Line : Path : Stitch

An exhibition of work by Alice Rolfe exploring the relationship between intuition, nature and emotion.

The Setting, Three Storeys, Old Bristol Rd, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

Influenced by non-objective art and abstract expressionism, Alice takes inspiration from what she sees in nature to create her work. Colour, texture and geometric shapes in flat planes come together to create a clean and minimal composition.

Her art comes from a sense of simplicity and purity that sits comfortably on the eye. She expresses her own understanding of objects found in nature giving new life to the simplest of forms and shows us the hidden beauty within. Emotion is important in her work; the spontaneous act of creating comes from the unconscious mind, placing objects according to her inner impulses onto canvas.

Alice grew up in Somerset and then Bristol. She gained a First class fine art degree at Wimbledon School of Art, followed with an MA from Kingston. She spent 10 years studying Fine Art, Sculpture and Print, teaching and exhibiting in and around London and Europe.

Line: Path: Stitch is Alice’s first body of work for some time after establishing her creative businesses Rolfe & Wills and Paper Plane. Moving to Nailsworth 2 years ago was just the motivation she needed to bring back her practice.
