Alice Mumford
British, 1965
Born in Colombia in 1965, Alice Mumford is a distinguished artist who studied at the renowned Camberwell School of Art. She is often seen as a contemporary bridge between the values of this prestigious academy and the legacy of the St. Ives School. As a member of an artistic lineage that includes Daphne and Emma McClure, and as the daughter of celebrated watercolorist J.Q. Treloar, Alice's creative background is deeply rooted in art.
Alice has held solo exhibitions at notable venues such as The Belgrave Gallery in London, Badcocks in Newlyn, and most recently, The Piers Feetham Gallery in London. In 2014, she was elected a member of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) and is also a beloved tutor at the Painting School in St Ives.
In the words of Anthony Ayton, RA: “When looking at Alice’s work, the influence of Bonnard comes to mind. Whereas he did not paint from nature but from drawings, Alice paints directly on the spot, her subject matter mainly confined to still-life found in the rooms in her house. Though grateful for the discipline of drawing she gained at Camberwell, she now feels a sense of freedom that she can paint the objects around her, very aware of the light that transforms and the color that excites her. There is a freedom of touch which evokes a sense of a particular place and a certain light.”
Alice possesses a unique ability to capture light in a way that evokes a profound sense of place and tranquility in her work.
