ALISON CHAPMAN-ANDREWS Although trained in English art schools, Alison’s “art vocabulary” was developed in the West Indian landscape, drawing in Barbados and Guyana. The rural environment of royal palms, fields and plants, became her inspiration and subject. As the subject was familiar and not “difficult”, she was free to pursue her own interpretations and impose her ideas of colour and design. These have changed through many phases and she is currently concerned with texture of paint and the use of collage. “I believe that the next painting produced will be the one to succeed totally. This continual search for a successful personal outcome is what it seems to be about. All I can do is keep making, composing, and working. Fortunately each painting, magically, seems to carry within it the germ of the next” She exhibited her collection of mostly non representational Barbadian art and craft in 2010.
