Alice Rose Ray is a multidisciplinary artist based in London.

Her work is a voyage into the unknown… a territory where dark becomes light, mad becomes sad and tragedy becomes fun, whimsical and often relatable.

Her work is uphold by a love for sensuality and the tangible or visceral feelings associated with experiencing life as a sensualist and fine tuning clear senses as a way of upholding truth and meaning in the world, both inner and outer. Her work is delivered with careful nurturing of creativity and the process of individualisation (being intrinsically informed by jungian and post jungian studies- particularly those that relate to fairytales and the unconscious mind.) through these studies, a dreamscape of her own inner and outer world is expressed, relating to contemporary tropes of the girl-blogger (with a shameless love for pop-culture.)

Through shadowy depths, experiences of trauma and cycles of life, death and rebirth; her work remains esoteric and magnetic. Enticing the viewer with evocative feelings of nostalgia, melancholy, heartbreak and despair. Her work is (auto) - erotic, fictional and theoretical. Her studies into depth psychology and esotericism are integral to understanding the origin of her delicate and mysterious artworks. She embraces her shadowy aspects and love for the more banal and vague themes that occur and materialise through keen experimentation.

She translates subliminal messages and visual imagery from a variety of media into something more tangible; tackling taboos with kindness, compassion and empathy. She is fascinated by exploring the self through the lens of obsession, awareness and shifting dualities of love and hate. A dizzying array of mixed media and emotions, she embodies the hysterical or mad woman and embraces the beauty of the surreal and sibylline world around us.

Her work speaks for itself and holds power in its softness and depth of self expression in the harshness and paradoxical strength associated with her feminine and feminist expression. It reads like a deeply personal diary page that shouldn’t ever be read or seen by others, ripped straight out of the pages of a kitschy (hot) red fluffy heart shaped journal.

Preferring not to be confined by limitations of specific mediums or genres, her work is at its core, focusing on self expression and healing through the act of creation, collaboration and using mark-making as a way of understanding the inner workings of the subconscious mind and inner psyche.
