Alice Xu
Alice Xu is a figurative and landscape oil painter, creating fictional sceneries using the process of collage and photomontage. This body of work is split between her “Community Paintings” and “Entropic Landscapes”. Her figures are focused on ordinary street dwellers, and the contemporary ‘flaneurs’, or ‘heroes of modern life’ going about their daily business. The position of the individual in the community lies at the core of Alice’s practice. Her landscapes focus on the waste and decay of structures and inhabited spaces over time. The decision to paint these dilapidated areas relates to the original concept of the negative aesthetic; when we engage with and notice areas that require improvement, we are more likely to achieve it. The anti aesthetic encounters play a role in striving for better aesthetics in our everyday surroundings and existence. By compositing and arranging these unappealing scenes into something more whimsical and pleasant, her own experience of the world becomes more aesthetic.
As I walked through the witching hour of an urban unnecessity, the streets disposed a colour of resistance
