Artist Alison Wing Yin Poon (b. 1996, United Kingdom) works across sculpture, print and ceramic to refract ideas around memory, fiction, heritage and change. Informed by a kaleidoscopic understanding of materials and their histories – from bamboo and brocade, to found fabrics and faux-bois – Alison’s practice aims to construct spaces of belonging.
Her works are as precise as they are playful, with intricate processes such as japanning and imitation woodgrain used to render mischievous animal characters and scenes from family photographs.
Alison holds a Master’s in Anthropology and Cultural Politics from Goldsmith’s College and a Master’s in Fine Art from City and Guilds of London Art School, where she was the Decorative Surfaces Fellow from 2024-2025. She received the Leverhulme Scholarship to undertake an MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School, which she completed in 2024, and holds a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art for which she received the 2018 Rossi Asiaghi Art Ward. Recent group exhibitions include: ‘Seem Both Distant and So Close’ Warbling Collective (London, 2025); ‘Apocalyptic Changes of State’ with Brushes with Greatness (London, 2024), and ‘See | Me Roots’ at Gallery Arte Azuejo (New York, 2022). A Constructed Home is her debut solo exhibition.
