ALLEN, Ambrosine

1982 - ?

Ambrosine Sophia Allen was born in Suffolk in 1982, daughter of Daniel J. Allen and his wife Bridget Heriz-Smith, who married at Halesworth, Suffolk in 1979. Ambrosine studied at Wimbledon School of Art drawing course graduating with a Master's in Fine Art in 2005. Ambrosine experimented with paper collage and the detailed technique that she developed, became the main part of her practice around her ever-expanding series of intricate collages, meticulously created using layer upon layer of tiny paper cuttings. The subjects are landscapes, often epic in scope but with a detailed aesthetic that references 17th and 18th century engravings of a geographical nature with each piece often taking several months to complete with the collages depicting a world in turmoil, landscapes of altered ecosystems that are subject to bizarre natural phenomena. She has exhibited widely including at the Royal Academy; Copeland Gallery, 133 Copeland Road, London; Roaming Room, Marylebone, London; Bo Lee Gallery, 222 Rye Lane, London; Artspace Gallery, 84 St Peter's Street, London, Suffolk Open Studios and elsewhere including in Miami and New York, U.S.A., Hong Kong and Amsterdam.
