Alice McCabe 1984-

Alice McCabe was raised in the Australian outback and moved to London when she was six. Deeply inspired by a show of Arthur Boyd’s work at the Australian Embassy in 1996, she realised that she wanted to be a painter.

My Role of a PAINTER is as CONDUCTERreleaser of emotion

The theme of the supposed exotica and quest for paradise intrigues me. My new paintings are not about the people or animals that develop in them. I am still not interested in the human body. The figured scenarios provide a tool by which my thoughts can be played out. My work is about the alter egos of everyone and the hidden side of everything.

Psychedelic Boredom
-Probing for excitement in extreme boredom or vice versa-

Just imagine how the telly’s streamed and if it all went wrong. Essentially due to the cover up picture on the front of the box we don’t see the multicoloured mind stripes. Its only when the connection fuzzes that the box and lights are revealed. Breakout and dance like 80s leggings across the screen.
This is the coverup
The world so boring
But coloured lights/distortions/overload:
Dragging us to the worlds surface.

The ease at which things get very exciting… This is psychedelic boredom


There will be many a job out there to teach of counting coins (temporary-Always! Bar work) but be ready- if really tired see your hand as a soda nozzle. Ah!

Proffessionalism- I’m a real professional.

In fact I want to be so proffesional I have several characters for different scenarios;

Totty de Beavoiur: Useful for a Private View/ looking smart. Handy for when you’d raher not be responsible for the truth but “The truth must AIR”
“She knows everybody!”
“Quite frankly your room is rather bland.”

Popsy ma G: Useful for looking lovingly and openly at the world, morals to try and live by.
“Hello Popsy Ma G”

Pervy Pops: The passive perve, useful to cover up Freudian slips.
“Feudal system is sexy.”
“Guapa”
