Artist Statement for Alice Simpson
|
|
|
As the antithesis to a career spent catering to fashion
and cosmetic clientele, Simpson’ recent works, both
books and clay, lead her to pursue themes such as
ABUNDANT BEAUTY, a 2006 series of clay portraits
inspired by Circus Fat Lady memorabilia. She searches
for something darker, less conventional --
even outrageous, by questioning ideas of
acceptable beauty.
Occasionally, words like contralto, castrati, belle
canto, and diva inspire work. Simpson is listening
to and interpreting sound and expression with a
series inspired by operatic voice and character.
Newest works like THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
from Mozart's The Magic Flute (2007) and
Leoncavallo's PAGLIACCI (2008) focus on human
psychology, articulated through an operatic
framework. While superficially these portraits
are of operatic characters they appear suspended
in moments of sound and expression, yet
unsettled in their unspoken emotions. Many new
works offer a duet in counterpoint.
