Alan's work can best be summed up in his own words... "The starting point of many of my pictures is an object such as an old toy, an image of a favourite painting or a particular building. This forms the focal point of an artwork in which I try to create a narrative, either historical based on the object or building or imagined.My images have a surreal edge influenced by artists such as Giorgio de Chirico and Edward Hopper. Many of my small works are created using gouache paint. In my large pictures I use charcoal and soft chalk pastels. The charcoal is used to create a tonal under-drawing and I then build up the colour over this using the chalk pastels."
