Painted Women by Alison Blickle
Alison Blickle is an American artist. Her work is about “attaining unattainable experiences and connection.” The oil paintings combine classical portraiture techniques and the landscape painting with a modern sensibility. She paints sensual women with nature components on their naked body. The women confront the viewer with their classic beauty, framed by warm-toned or dark landscapes. “My paintings explore my desire to feel a connection to something larger than myself — be it nature, family, or history. The women I paint are often stand-ins for myself; I put them in surreal situations and live vicariously through them,” says Alison.
