Alison Watt




Alison Watt bases her work around the suggestive movement of fabric, her ideas suggest that the fabrics movement act independent from the specific person in the painting. She became Associate Artist at The National Gallery in 2006 and instantly requested independent personal access to traditional painting of which she would study relentlessly for ideas and inspiration.
Watt herself has been a huge influence to me, as her ideas and concepts are similar to mine, in the way that I am similarly looking at traditional artists and the movement and energy of fabric.
