Original painting by Alan Harris, contemporary British artist,

Acrylic on canvas Size 16" x 32"

Growing up in a city like London, left indelible marks in Alan's memory and in his paintings. Empty, dark streets, with semi-dilapidated buildings and stray cats roaming the streets, were the first characteristics of his paintings. In his late work, he evolves to more modern images where traffic and bustle, the lights and people appear in his paintings giving life and showing the change that globalization has brought to the world..

Always with a great sense of architectural space, Alan has managed to paint in his work a unique concept that stands out from his contemporaries. His ability to abstract the main elements of each city and create that image with which the public easily connects and which is part of their own experience is unique.

Alan Harris works with a variety of mediums and subjects, oils, watercolours, pastel, mixed media, and sculptures.
Some comments on Alan's work:
"There is something about viewing Alan's painting, that has a peaceful, calm, force about it. It slows the senses, so the dreams that come will hold our ability to drift off into that peacefulness!!"

Alan Harris is a contemporary British artist, painter, and sculptor, born in London in the 1950s. From a young age, Alan displayed a strong creative flair, inspired significantly by his father, who spent much of his free time making and mending, sharing these skills with him. This early exposure to creativity fostered Alan's interest in art and handicrafts.

Around twenty years ago, Alan began to fully immerse himself in painting, developing a unique style that has garnered appreciation from many. His early works, primarily simple watercolors, depicted scenes of everyday life. Over time, he has expanded his artistic repertoire, dedicating himself full-time to painting and experimenting with various techniques and mediums. He maintains studios in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and Barcelona, where he spends extended periods exploring new forms of art.

Alan's work is deeply influenced by his middle-class upbringing in London, a city rich with life and history. His paintings often depict scenes from his childhood, interwoven with stories of his forefathers, creating a personal and intimate world of nostalgia. His characteristic depictions of busy, rainy streets reflect the struggles and evolution of individuality within urban life. These scenes evoke feelings of both happiness and warm nostalgia, drawing from Alan's own emotional life and comfort.

The spaces depicted in Alan's work could represent the streets of London, where he was born, Newcastle, where he currently resides, or any other place, resonating with viewers who find familiar elements in his paintings. Alan relies on his memory to convey the essence of these scenes, creating images that are both personal and universally recognizable.
