Artist Name: Alison Ryde
Alison Ryde is one of New Zealand's most accomplished watercolour and oil artists, exhibiting since the mid-sixties and continuing to develop her style with consistently innovative shows in New Zealand, Austrialia and Europe. Alison Ryde now paints from her Italian home and the enviromental influence is obvious in her work, both in subject and temperament. Alison Ryde is as full of life and vitality as her artwork. She immerses herself in the passionate Italian culture and has revitalized her creativity. Through years of experience with the medium of watercolour, Alison Ryde has required such an intimate relationship that she seems to have gained a palette of pure emotion. Entranced by the Italian landscape, Alison has been exploring the motif, and has turned toward abstraction. Her bold and vibrant oil paintings illustrate Alison's personal creative style and reiterate her watercolour backround to produce some uniquely atmospheric compositions. With a wealth of experience and the recognition of her peers, Alison Ryde remains an important figure in New Zealand art.
