ALISON COOLEY Artist Statement Growing up in Washington, with its specifically humid climate, I was always attuned to atmospheres and changing weather patterns. It’s basically what I paint. Most recently I’ve taken this ambient abstraction into a much more intimate zone - an exploration of daily, mostly anonymous, interactions. So often we are thrown into surprising intimacy with strangers and the encounter is visceral. The scent of a wet coat, the recognition of a song leaking from ear buds, the unexpected look at a shaving cut can momentarily engage us in a stranger’s world. A passerby may stun us with an unexpected phrase, captivate us with whimsical makeup, or bury us deep in shadow like a thunderhead. The throwaway exchanges between people navigating a city - invasive and vulnerable, connected yet disconnected - build intricate, fleeting microclimates. My work acts as a collective portraiture, capturing the shifting fronts and clouds of humans moving through and around each other, leaving elements in their wake.
