Alanna Peters Art Studio

Alanna Peters Art Studio (Canadian-born; Toronto, Ontario, and Denver, Colorado) EDUCATION 2005 BEd Arts-Based Learning, Queen's University, Canada 2002 Honours BA in Fine Arts, McMaster University Alanna Peters paints about impermanence with light and motion. Artists must explore impermanence with light and motion. This concept has inspired Alanna Peters. In her artwork, she seeks to balance realism and abstraction to suggest the impermanence of life. Her paintings are in oil on wooden panels and offer an emotional response to the viewer. The movement and light in Alanna's pieces challenge the stillness and permanence we associate with death. The transparent elements create weightlessness and reflection, imitating the fluidity of life. In the figures she paints, they are juxtaposed with realistic and abstract elements. Their detailed realism contrasts with the figure's abstraction, allowing Peters to explore life's transience and uncertainty through. For the artist, it's essential to embrace the fluidity of life. Art must engage the viewer in an emotional dialogue and share their experience. Public and private collections in Canada, France, Germany, and Uganda contain her work.
