Works and lives
Toulouse, France
For nearly ten years, Alison Flora (b. 1992) has been using drawing and painting, as well as sculpture, music and video, to exhume the dark side of the world and open portals to another reality, as dark as it is salvific. Her works on paper painted with her own blood, a technique that has made her famous since 2019, are the most explicit incarnation of this visceral connection with the limbo of the soul and the insoluble enigmas of the subconscious, which she also explores through music, sculpture and her practice as a VJ (video jockey). Steeped in regional folklore and the occult, medieval architecture and gothic literature, but also a whole underground culture - metal, industrial rock, raves - the young woman’s work translates the anguish and hopes, dreams and nightmares of a generation lost in the torments of its time, from which it seeks to escape. The French artist has exhibited at the Salon de Montrouge and Abattoirs in Toulouse (2022), MO.CO. in Montpellier and Pavillon Southway in Marseille (2023). Since then, her work has entered the collections of MAC VAL and FRAC Occitanie. She will present her first solo show at the DS Galerie in autumn 2024.
