Amelia Alcock-White

Amelia Alcock-White is a Canadian magic realist painter.Born on Vancouver Island, Canada, her style has been described as a, “combination of representationalism, realism; naturalism, and takes the form of illustrational depictions of happiness using stylized, personal exaggerations and distortions. It is Post-Surrealism! Her technical virtuosity more than adequately presents her perception and cognition of an ideal romantic world in which she is both instigator and willing participant." [Burton, Dennis (2004). "Opener", p.53. Vancouver. ISBN 0-9736706-0-6.] Her imagery is drawn from myth, psychology and philosophy. The work, Café de la Paix was based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The painting, "Birth of a Nation," was inspired by the Dixie Chicks.
