{"title":"Alice Barker","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBA (Hons) Painting, University of Edinburgh, 2021\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice Barker is a painter whose work explores memory as something unstable, vivid and in flux. Working with collage, thin washes of oil paint and turpentine, she builds layered compositions where figures sit within expansive, flattened landscapes. These spaces feel both intimate and unsettled, holding a tension between presence and distance. Her paintings move between clarity and dissolution, with forms emerging and fading through translucent colour. Selected for RSA New Contemporaries 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and based in London, I am a queer non-binary artist whose practice navigates the realms of memory and imagination. Utilising family photographs, video footage, and personal recollections, I weave compositions that blur reality and fantasy, infusing them with a nostalgic warmth and an otherworldly aura. My process is spontaneous and intuitive, letting paint guide me as marks evolve into recollected narratives. Each brushstroke bears the essence of personal history and inner worlds, inviting viewers to decipher their own meanings within layers of emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cloaked-amongst-the-trees","title":"Cloaked Amongst the Trees","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032580624716,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0004","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/d4bd7326-ae5d-496c-bda2-7f249fad1a19-l.jpg?v=1783607648"},{"product_id":"under-a-waning-moon","title":"Under a Waning Moon","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032592355660,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0005","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/0a4aabb3-10ef-431b-bf4e-f668a72e99c1-l.jpg?v=1783607657"},{"product_id":"has-london-broken-my-heart","title":"Has London Broken My Heart?","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032604119372,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0006","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/4d5afdc2-d46f-46c2-a0a1-f8aa3d1242df-l.jpg?v=1783607666"},{"product_id":"i-ll-take-care-of-you","title":"I’ll Take Care of You","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032614670668,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0007","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/96e5a345-cc3a-44cf-ae6f-bda367b9d925-l.jpg?v=1783607675"},{"product_id":"unusual-encounters","title":"Unusual Encounters","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032624533836,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0008","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/b399e00e-ea87-47af-bb41-87ea93bf6214-l.jpg?v=1783607685"},{"product_id":"reflection-in-a-train-window","title":"Reflection in a Train Window","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032670900556,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0009","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/b2f29341-bdc2-4bdd-891b-b3a09e5f212d-l.jpg?v=1783607694"},{"product_id":"max-and-me","title":"Max and Me","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58032693018956,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0010","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/0b342e65-e410-4f97-be36-09f859a9e940-l.jpg?v=1783607703"},{"product_id":"the-three-lonely-travellers","title":"The Three Lonely Travellers'","description":"","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58033290969420,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/6ed22789-4f5f-46aa-8571-ce7268cb784f-l.jpg?v=1783608271"},{"product_id":"false-rememberings","title":"False Rememberings'","description":"","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58033298768204,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/2c4d0dc7-25a7-413d-914a-1a06fc376956-l.jpg?v=1783608280"},{"product_id":"were-we-ever-really-here","title":"Were We Ever Really Here?'","description":"","brand":"Alice Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58033303847244,"sku":"INV-BAKA-0003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/16d8c576-587c-412b-a5e9-42e89a76176b-l.jpg?v=1783608289"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/collections\/Alice_99bba49e8afda5f93b01547a719cdbce.webp?v=1783588967","url":"https:\/\/www.newbloodart.com\/collections\/alice-barker.oembed","provider":"New Blood Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
