Alice Tippit
BIOGRAPHY
Born in 1975 in Independence, KS USA
Lives and works in Chicago, IL USA
Alice Tippit is a Chicago-based artist whose work fluctuates between the figurative and abstract realms. As she combines hard-edged style with a restrained color palette, the artist calls for a visual language based on bold graphic depictions to propose a subtle inquiry on everyday objects and their relation to humans, and bodies. Through multiple associations, Alice Tipitt compounds potential readings, that unfold in a myriad of interpretations, resulting in a hovering ambiguity that encourages the viewer to question forms and symbolics. Alice Tippit (b. 1975, lives and works in Chicago, IL USA) has had solo exhibitions at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York, NY USA; PATRON Gallery, Chicago, IL USA; KRETS, Malmö, Sweden; Kimmerich, Berlin, Germany; and many more. Group exhibitions were held at Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA; Kemper Museum of Contemporary ArtKansas City, MO, USA; Corbett vs. Dempsey, Chicago, IL, USA; Linn Luhn gallery, Düsseldorf, Germany; and many more. Alice Tippit will have her first solo show at the gallery in April 2023.
