Alicia Dunn

Dappled Light, Abstract Painting

2019

Artist Comments
Alicia describes this vivid abstraction as a body of water in the shimmering light of the moon. Blues, turquoise and green layer and blend on the surface of the canvas, mimicking the complexity of rippling water. Alicia Dunn draws from her local northern California surrounding to create scenes of the coast and ocean.

About the Artist
Alicia Dunn’s abstract paintings are affected by a confluence of elements: the weather, her mood, and the properties of her materials. “Ceding control to these things allows the magic to happen,” the artist explains. Alicia's paintings capture the unique energy of nature, particularly that of the beach where she lives. Staring into the tranquil and luminous colors of her work, the viewer connects to shape of the waves, the swiftness of the wind, and the beginning of a day. Alicia is inspired by the simple things in life. Her awe of nature’s perfection and the thrill of constant discovery are conveyed in her art. Alicia works in water-based acrylic paint, and has developed a technique using blending gels to achieve not only rich color and texture, but also an eroded, weathered effect that reflects the process of the painting’s creation. Like nature itself, each painting shifts with the viewer, chronicling time through movement and beauty.
