Alison Lambert

Alison Lambert has developed and refined her own technique to express her powerful studies of figures and faces.  She has also renounced the use of colour in her work.  The result is an evolving body of monuments of great intensity.  The impact of these drawings is due to her portrayal of human emotions in timeless monochrome, combined with the sculptural frieze effect of the ground built up from torn and pasted paper.

Lambert was born at Kingston, Surrey, in 1957.  She studied at the Leek School of Art and Design and gained a BA in fine art from Coventry Polytechnic in 1981.  Her studio is at Coventry Canal Basin Warehouse.  She has held regular solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions in Britain and North America.
