Alice Kemp (b. 1987, Brighton, UK) is a visual artist and educator living and working in London. She finds inspiration in nature and the mundane, painting traditionally decorative subjects like plants, flowers, animals and landscapes yet choosing to accentuate both their beauty and inherent asymmetry, what she describes as natural “crookedness or bulginess”. Influenced by the Japanese approach to art where the distance between art, decoration and nature is shorter, she approaches her subjects with a conscious mix of expression and restraint, minimalism and visual overload.
Her work has been exhibited in the UK, Japan, Turkey, Poland, Croatia and Thailand and is held in private and corporate collections across the UK, Europe, East Asia and the Middle East. She is a graduate of University College Falmouth (BA First class Honours in Fine Art, 2010), Central Saint Martins (MA Fine Art, 2016) and University College London : The Institute of Education (PGCE Art and Design 2019).
