简介

英国艺术家艾莉森·瓦特（Alison Watt，1965年生）创作了描绘丰富织物褶皱的巨幅画作。这些画布呈现了近距离裁切的褶裥、皱褶、折痕与卷曲——均以白色、灰色、熟赭、镉红和黄色等精选色调感性而发展地呈现。

作为国家美术馆的第七位驻馆艺术家，瓦特一直在靠近永久收藏品的工作室中进行创作。这种与长久以来钦佩的杰作毗邻的距离，使她得以聚焦于西方艺术中帷幔传统的表现，并激发了她高度抽象化的重新诠释。这本设计精美、图文并茂的书籍呈现了她最新创作的系列强大的大型画作。在配有瓦特在美术馆工作室工作照片的专文中，科林·威金斯回顾了艺术家的创作过程。书中还收录了苏格兰著名诗人唐·帕特森为回应这些作品而创作的新作。

British artist Alison Watt (b. 1965) creates monumental paintings depicting richly draped fabric. These canvases show closely cropped folds, gathers, tucks, and creases––all sensuously developed from a selective palette of white, grey, burnt sienna, cadmium red, and yellow. The National Gallery's seventh Associate Artist, Watt has been working in a studio near the permanent collection. This proximity to masterpieces she has long admired has concentrated her focus on the tradition of drapery in western art and inspired her dramatically abstracted reinterpretations. This beautifully designed and illustrated book presents her most recent series of powerful, large-scale paintings. In an essay featuring photographs of Watt at work in the gallery studio, Colin Wiggins reviews the artist's creative process. Also included is a new piece written by celebrated Scottish poet Don Paterson that responds to these works.
