In each piece, she invites you to embark on a journey of cultural appreciation, colour, and artistic discovery.


Ali Anderson's current body of work, Colour Play Square Series, is deeply rooted in her appreciation for the beauty of the square, a shape that captivates with its inherent simplicity, symmetry, versatility, and endless potential for artistic integration. Guided by intuition, she weaves the charm of squares into her work, overlaying them with whimsical, slightly wobbly lines. Using vinyl paint, renowned for its high pigment concentration and velvety matte finish, Anderson transforms these squares into vibrant art works, bringing to life a rich palette of colours. Within this artistic journey, the square acts as a cornerstone, enabling her to create visually pleasing and harmonious compositions that offer a sense of surprise and joy while playing with colour to conjure depth and illusion.
