你好，我是

艾丽丝·古尔·阿里

关于

I began my career in advertising as a conceptual copywriter and graphic designer. Eventually moving client-side, I had international responsibility for the direction, development and implementation of marketing strategy and communications for global brands. 11 years ago I returned to my creative roots. 

我的全职实践专注于摄影和绘画融合的“最佳点”。在那里，我邀请观众用镜头取代他们看世界的窗口，将视觉体验解读为既熟悉又陌生的东西。受自然世界的启发，风景、海景和野生动物占据了我的作品集的主导地位，风格从大胆饱和的抽象到柔和的纹理色调。

In the creative process for developing my interpretive works, I treat my photograph as the canvas. The photographs, taken around the world, are repainted by hand with a “brush” digitally, using washes to create layers, and blowing up the image to paint pixel by pixel as detail requires. Importantly, my work is not about digital manipulation (I do NOT use Photoshop) but about re-imagining experience.

My solo exhibitions include the Embassy of Iceland and the Coningsby Gallery in London.

Recognition highlights: ArtGemini Prize (shortlisted); LensCulture Art Photography Award Gallery (featured); Aesthetica Art Prize (long listed); The Secret Art Prize (long listed); Terry O'Neill Photography Award (2 series nominated); Bridgeman Images Studio Award (shortlisted); Christie’s London (2 works auctioned); Royal Ontario Museum (winner, national design competition to promote the Smithsonian’s Travelling Exhibition, “The Precious Legacy”.)

I recently published a two book project inspired by the ancient Chinese world view of the universe. Twelve: Shengxiao Zodiac Creatures in Art and Words offers 32 hand painted photographs and twelve short stories relating to each of the Chinese "year of" zodiac animals. Twelve can be found here https://issuu.com/agurarie/docs/twelve. The companion book Five: Wuxing Elements in Art and Words, features 81 landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and abstracts aligned with the five wuxing themes: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Five can be found here https://issuu.com/agurarie/docs/five. Available only digitally, both books are free to browse. Forwards by Asian art scholar John E. Vollmer.

我的照片出现在书籍封面上，并被英国、美国、加拿大、德国、瑞士和以色列的私人收藏。

I hold degrees in Education, English literature and Business, but I am a self taught artist.

I am a past Trustee of Gasworks Dock Partnership, a registered charity and social enterprise formed to act as a vehicle for the community led regeneration of Cody Dock and the local waterways of the Lower Lea River. In this role I had lead responsibility for strategic communications and the development of an arts and creative industries community at Cody Dock.
