Alison Van Pelt: Kukui & Ho’onui Collection
for General Public

Kukui and ho'onui mean "light" and "evolution" in Hawaiian. Alison Van Pelt's white-on-white paintings are studies in illumination and movement. The artist begins with a hyper-realistic painting, then layers horizontal and vertical lines on top. The pattern created by the brushstrokes is like a vibration, rendering her subjects ephemeral and creating a feeling of organic change.

General Public, an art curation and publishing company based in LA, is revolutionizing the way we think about and collect art. Founded by Portia de Rossi, a collector and art world disruptor, General Public makes a radical proposition: a painting shouldn't be enjoyed by just one person, but should be available to all. The General Public Synograph™, a groundbreaking 3-D technology, redefines the limits of printing, recreating every detail of the original artwork with total fidelity. Capturing the nuances of brushwork and technique, these textured prints are an authentic expression of the artist's hand.
