Ali Bassett is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Cornwall. Ali completed a foundation in fine art at Cheltenham, later completing a Fine Art degree at Spike Island in Bristol. She has exhibited across Cornwall, Oxford, Somerset, Bristol, and London. Working on canvas, pieces are stitched together in a patchwork of imagery, figuration, and pattern allowing her to gently tell stories which she likes to be relatable to all.
"Folktales, morals and old wives tales, overheard stories and the proverbial wisdom of the superstition all influence my work. There’s a real beauty in stories handed down from generation to generation, words of advice as we make the same mistakes, repeat the same heartbreaks and share the same love and joy. The world around me always creeps into my work, a glimpse of the sea or the horizon, the fields, trees and streams all decorate my stories" - Ali Bassett
