DISCOVER BLACK ARTISTS
"In my work I abstract and simplify, seeking to unearth an alternative perspective of commonplace objects and individuals. Employing vivid imagery, I work to amplify these themes by harnessing the power of color, form, and precise line work."
Alannah Tiller, creatively known as Alilscribble is a San Antonio based multidisciplinary artist and academic. Her work mostly draws from pop culture and imagery she see's online - it is a response to the people and objects in her everyday life that stimulate some sort of response. Sometimes abstracting, sometimes simplifying. Ultimately, she looks to find an alternative view of these everyday objects and people. Through the use of bold imagery she attempts to amplify these themes using color, form and crisp line work.
"The most important thing I’ve learned up until now is that, no matter what you do, just keep doing it. Regardless if what you make is good or bad, one has to keep at it to continue to grow."
