Alison Dickson

Originally from Northern Ireland, Alison has lived and worked for many years in her adopted home of Edinburgh. Her work is held in collections throughout the UK, Ireland and beyond.

Alison takes her inspiration from the natural world and has a keen interest in exploring the significance of objects and how closely they are linked to the themes of belonging, identity and memory.

Her paintings weave subtle narratives through their composition. Deftly manipulating line, colour and perspective she invites the onlooker to consider the story behind and between the objects carefully arranged on tabletops or in front of open windows.

Alison approaches her paintings in a structured manner but brings them to life intuitively. Using a limited palette, shapes, colours and patterns are simplified to create a level of abstraction. It is not unusual for her to use skewers, knives and sometimes collage to create shifting dynamics within each piece.
