allison renshaw's work is full of layers, pattern, pop and fun and sort of like a female james rosenquist...
For her 2007 exhibition at QCA, Fragments, she combined images from fashion magazines and advertising graphics with her cosmic paintings. Of this work, Renshaw said, “These found fragments are turned into something new, something inexplicable. Lines between the organic and the man-made become blurred and a larger narrative is evoked through a banal fragment.” Her work transcends the everyday, giving the viewer a sense of the world but in a bigger and better way.
