Alise Tipse is a Latvian/English artist currently living and working in Vienna, Austria. Alise holds a BA in Illustration from The Edinburgh College of Art.

Alise, who was raised in Latvia and UK, returns again and again to the themes of close testimony to the natural world, and her observation of animals as central to her work. She melds the softness and depth of oil paint with the spikiness and plasticity of silicone spikes and surfaces that feel simultaneously protective and menacing. By placing humans and animals in dreamlike encounters, her work provokes thought about the pull of instinct, and the fragile balance between beauty, danger and survival.
