The English artist Alison Cooper follows the long tradition of botanical art. The painter completed an art degree in Wales and deepened her knowledge at the University of Florence. Back in her native England, phases of family life followed, leaving little room for her own ambitions. Alison Cooper developed a great passion for gardening and the plants she touched almost daily. With the children starting school, family time became more generous for Alison. She took advantage of the opportunities and decided to become a professional painter. The artist finds the subjects for her fine watercolours in her native Worcestershire. In keeping with Fine Art, Alison Cooper creates aesthetic art and decorative elements. The artist has a special connection with the Society of Horticulture. As part of the Society's commitment to British gardening, Alison has submitted exhibition entries which have received attention and won awards.
The art of botany goes back a long way in history. In poetry, floral artists are described as those who found beauty in truth. Artists who understood plants scientifically and saw and described them with the artist's eye and hand. Alison Cooper combines these qualities, which also have meaning for contemporary artists. Recognizing the beauty in the plant and depicting it with great recognition is a wonderful talent. Alison Copper is not afraid to paint pumpkins and cabbages. The artist conjures the natural colours of shimmering red and purple cabbages onto paper with the same charm as she is able to do with magnificent English roses. Fundamental is the knowledge of the characteristic properties of the plants and to discover and implement them. Alison Cooper is inspired by nature and creates her own works. Another passion is painting bridal bouquets. She gives the bride a never fading memory of the most beautiful day in her life. As templates, the artist uses good photographs, which she transforms into flowers for eternity.
There is a fine line between botanical artists and flower painters. Artist Maria Sibylla Graff Merian and artist Pierre Joseph Redouté had the intention of scientific representation when they created their works. Today, photography and the digital media world have largely replaced this function. Artists who focus on painting flowers often choose the context of a still life for representation. Bouquets are arranged in vases and fruits and vegetables are presented accordingly. Alison Cooper's work is an essence of the original scientific form of the art of botany. The viewer is struck by the realistic beauty that the many vegetables from our gardens can display.
