'Cape Town Palms' by Alice Boggis Rolfe
- Description
- Shipping
Born in 1990, Alice Boggis-Rolfe is a figurative painter. Her subject matter veers from vast open landscapes to quiet, intimate interiors and still-lifes. She spent her twenties travelling the world with her paints, holding exhibitions back in London between trips. Her practice has since evolved into carefully constructed studio work using a broad palette, interspersed with bouts of the plein air painting she still adores.
Alice trained at Chelsea College of Art and Heatherley's School of Fine Art. She has since held six sell-out solo exhibitions in London some of which sold out in a matter of hours. Aside from these she exhibits regularly with the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Her work has received numerous awards such as the Winsor & Newton First Prize for a Young Artist and The William Sloane Medal and in 2019 she was both shortlisted and highly commended for the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize and De Laszlo Award. In 2017, Alice took part in the Television series Landscape Artist of the Year reaching the final three out of thousands of contestants nationwide. Alice lives and works in Gloucestershire.

FAQ
How do I hang a new piece with works I already have?
We love mixing in new works with existing are in your collection. It can be a great way to do this as part of a gallery wall or a specific place on it’s own. Buying more contemporary work and hanging this alongside traditional work you may have inherited, is a great way of modernising a space and giving these more traditional pieces new life. Our advice would be to have a common thread that runs between the 2 pieces, that ties them together - this could be similar tones or colours, or a similar theme or subject in both the works.
Does art make a good wedding present?
We have lots of pieces that would make brilliant wedding presents. Buying art as a gift is such a meaningful present and will forever be a talking piece for that couple, and tell a story of the people that bought them that piece and remind them of their wedding. Prints are always an easy and affordable wedding gift. Or if you want to club together with some friends and buy an original framed piece, you will definitely win the prize for most unique gift!
How do I choose a frame?
This is a very favourite topic of ours - we LOVE framing! How you frame depends on the space you’d like to hang the piece in. If you are hanging on a neutral wall, we love to go for a colourful frame. And using an interesting moulding, be it reeded or bobbin, is a great way of adding texture to a room. For works on paper I love a deckled paper edge - in this case I love to float or surface mount the paper, so you can see this deckled edge and then a simple wood frame. If you are trying to make a space more contemporary, framing can be a great way to add to this, like a tray frame on a large canvas piece. I also love framing traditional art works in modern frames and vice versa; a modern little print in a really traditional old antique gilt frame.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes we absolutely do - this is the perfect gift solution for that person who either has everything, or you just can’t choose which artwork to buy for them. A lovely gift for someone to choose exactly what they would like from our large collection of art work.
