50 x £50, 2021

Alice Neave works predominantly with raw calico & canvas, raw pigment, thread, and an assortment of other mediums. In between adding painted layers, Neave washes the material over & over, working on the surface for long periods of time. She then hand- stitches elements together to create a painting in which process and materiality is at the heart of the work. Neave uses these seasoned surfaces along with gesture, and texture to explore personal themes and motifs whilst bringing to the forefront a strong material image that leaves the viewer with a huge amount of ambiguity. 

She work intuitively and in this painting the colour palette was affected by the change in seasons. 

A work of this size by Alice Neave usually sells for £375.
