Alison Cooley uses large powerful gestures and juxtaposing materials to convey the cyclical and blooming currents of the natural world.
Symbols in the paintings replicate, change, fade, and return through the work creating a subtle tension that examines themes of compliance and resistance, harmony and dissonance, certainty and illusion. Cooley received her BA at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville New York and her MFA at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C.
