Allegra Norris
Artist Statement
My style of work is influenced collectively by my background in film, architecture and design along with my upbringing in urban cities like Philadelphia and New York. I found myself inspired by art history and old magazines which is what helped me develop my art style and technique. It was through experimentation that I developed the style. It was something I started doing in high school, painting using tiny squares and dots and lines, and it just stuck with me. I like to highlight pop culture. My art aesthetic is pop surrealism and blends the technique of Impressionism with elements of postmodernism. My subjects involve popular imagery with a surrealistic and psychedelic experience using bold colors, shapes and linear patterns.
