Alanis Forde
Alanis Forde uses a figurative–surrealist vocabulary to explore escapism within landscapes idealized as paradise. Her imagined terrains, inhabited by blue, dotted proxy figures, probe belonging, longing, and displacement. Working in oil and collage, she employs saturated color, textured surfaces, and gestural mark-making to create atmospheres that oscillate between the idyllic and the uneasy. Her practice forms an ongoing inquiry into escape, identity, and home.
