Oakland-based artist Allison Hueman creates dynamic paintings, murals, site-specific installations, and new media works that oscillate between abstraction and representation of human form. Driven by instinct and experimentation, Hueman renders sublime and transcendent experiences by abstracting figures, layering and enveloping them in vivid colors with paint and textiles. Her practice draws from a constellation of art movements-- from spontaneity in abstract expressionism and the ethereal quality of the Light and Space movement to the rich drama of the Baroque period. Hueman blends these influences, exploring themes of movement, spirituality, and the unseen. She has received prestigious large-scale projects throughout the US, as well as major collaborations with the Golden State Warriors, Jordan, Estee Lauder, Adobe, and Forever 21, to name a few. Hueman has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and her work is part of several public and private collections, including the homes of Daveed Diggs, Usher, and Swizz Beats. Hueman received a BA in Design | Media Arts at UCLA.
