I like these paintings together because you can see the suggestions of Green Man. Green Man, 2013. Pavement Tree, 2013. Do you work on a painting all in one go? I love your Asparagus.

Wednesday, 24 February 2010. Rose Wylie at her studio in Newnham, Kent with Alli Sharma. I wanted to show you a horse. This one. Where shall I put it? There’s something about its chest and the stupidity of it. I like the zebra beside it. It’s a take from de Chirico. I like his Metaphysical and early work. AS: Is this your recent work. And what about the paper pieces stuck on top? Those are corrections or changes, which is why they keep getting thicker. AS: Shall we go upstairs to your studio? It is possi...

NN: Is it Chinese ink? NN: ‘Why Bother’ is acrylic on canvas. NN: Does it look like your handwriting? DU: People ask if my wall drawings...

Wednesday, 1 February 2012. Miho Sato talks to Alli Sharma at her studio in Bow, London E3. Russian Actress, 2012. AS: It’s interesting how little detail is needed to recognize your Moomin. I guess that is the theme of the exhibition, Minimal Excess. MS: Yes, I have made three Moomins. All different sizes. The first, in 2003, was bigger and on thick paper. For Minimal Excess. I have a new painting, Russian Actress. And a slightly older one, Complexity of Adulthood 3. I had the image for. It was a fire th...

Monday, 17 January 2011. David Wightman talking to Alli Sharma at his Hackney Wick studio. DW: People hesitate to call them targets but that’s what they are. When I first started doing them a few years ago, it was an attempt to mock formalist geometric abstraction. So I took on different abstract motifs, like the target, square, and stripe. AS: I don’t know much about geometric abstraction, who are you referencing? DW: The most obvious would be Kenneth Noland. AS: So you started with an ironic intent.

Friday, 11 April 2014. John Mills talked to Alli Sharma at Weekend Gallery in Los Angeles. 2013, oil and graphite on canvas, 36x36". AS: When I look at your paintings I imagine some of the marks are made from felt tip pens, is that something you use in your drawings? AS: Do the same motifs crop up in the drawings? AS: So if that starts to happen do you do something to stop it? I can see things are rubbed out and over. I guess I try to do the same thing, however, I exist in the 21. JM: Yes, in a way it...

Monday, 23 May 2011. Jeff McMillan talks to Alli Sharma at his studio in Shoreditch, E2. AS: Where do you find your drawings and paintings? AS: Is that what you look for, an awkwardness? JM: That’s the sort of potential I suppose I am looking for, as though the drawing is asking for an intervention to become complete. At times it feels like a collaboration. AS: Do you know what the geometric drawings are? AS: And beautifully presented. AS: The dipping line works well with the geometric look. JM: I’...
