Alice Gur-Arie is an award nominated, self taught artist whose mixed media work has been exhibited at the Embassy of Iceland in London and auctioned at Christie's London. Inspired by the natural world, landscape, seascape and wildlife images from around the world dominate her portfolio, ranging in style from bold saturated abstracts to soft, textured tones.
Alice is a past Trustee of Positive View Foundation, a charity whose innovative Youth Empowerment Programme uses photography to lead vulnerable 16-25 year olds living on some of the UK's most challenging estates into further education, apprenticeships, employment or community volunteer work.
Ms. Gur-Arie has published a two part book project, Twelve: Shengxiao Zodiac Creatures in Art and Words and Five: Wuxing Elements in Art and Words. Twelve features 32 portraits of the twelve “Year of” zodiac animals, and a short story relating to each. Five contains over 80 landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and abstract works from around the world. Together they present an inspired interpretation of the ancient Chinese world view as a framework for creative expression.
