"The Force" |
|
Consistently a figurative painter whose work might broadly be called impressionist, Allan tends to work and re-work a painting, sometimes leaving it untouched for months until he can achieve some kind of completion.
“How can you say when a painting is finished, it is purely subjective. I prefer to work ‘wet on wet’ and often mix my paint on canvas.” |
|
Many of his paintings display an extremely thick impasto texture; the visible brush or painting knife strokes adding to the adrenalin of his subject.
“I love the organic quality of oil paint for its own sake.”
His Wales rugby painting ‘Force’ is a typical example of the three dimensional sculptural rendering of his work in this thick, painterly, style.
