Alanna Eakin’s Style and Practice
Alanna's work is concerned with themes of nature, escapism and nostalgia. She has a particular interest in colour, light and abstract mark making. The paintings are moments in time with stories attached allowing the viewer to place themselves within and enabling them to form a connection.
She collects references from the everyday, from travels to exotic places and through memories both present and in childhood. Imagination, memory and imagery allow her to translate a dreamlike, fairytale scenario onto the surface, playing with colour, light and dimensions.
Exhibitions and Collections
Alanna's work can be found on Wychwood Art, Artfully Sorted and the Affordable Art Fair. She has exhibited in London at OXO Tower Wharf, AdLib Gallery Wimbledon Village, Eccleston Yards, Old Truman Brewery, and at various shows in Bristol, Kent and Oxfordshire.
