艾丽森·卡茨(b. 1980,蒙特利尔)现生活和工作于伦敦。2002年,她于康考迪亚大学获得艺术学士学位。2008年,她于哥伦比亚大学获得艺术硕士学位。
艾丽森·卡茨的作品反思了当代艺术创作中盘根错节、有时自相矛盾的本质。她将交流的模糊性容纳其中,用戏谑幽默而又刨根问底的手法拓宽了传统意义上的艺术家“标志”。卡茨的作品在若隐若现、半遮半掩的诗意空间中运作,指引着观众去注意绘画表面和绘画主体所构成的多层次意识中。

Allison Katz (b. 1980, Montreal) currently lives and works in London. She received her BFA from the Concordia University in 2002 and her MFA from the Columbia University in 2008.
Allison Katz’s work engages with the complex and at times contradictory nature of contemporary artistic production, embracing the ambiguity of communication with a playful and inquiring touch that expands the conventional notion of an artist’s “signature style.” Katz’s work operates in a poetic space between mirror and mask, between revealing and concealing what is presented, calling attention to the multiple layers of consciousness that reside in a painting’s surface and subject.
