About Me

ALAN FALK

LIGHT AND MAGIC

"When people ask me about my art I tell them how art is magic and artists are magicians. We don't use top hats and rabbits to create the magic, we create shapes, space, depth and light on a flat surface which is an illusion . . . and that is magic!".

I have always had a passion for light, atmosphere, nature and the interaction between humanity and the environment, creating works imbued with mysticism and spiritual meaning.

The forest is alive with life and is in constant motion. Trees connect to the sky above and to the forest floor beneath which is pulsating with amazing connectivity and energy.

Visits to Italy and Portugal and immersion in New York State and New England have inspired new paintings that describe the intersection between humanity and the natural world.

These works filled with light and color seek to connect you to something that is beyond our everyday world, using poetic visual language of light and color to represent spirituality by using a transcendental metaphor.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

I use a combination of traditional painting techniques and computer manipulation. I scan and assemble watercolor sketches, drawings and photographs into powerful compositions, and then alter the pictorial qualities of light, color to create the desired mood.

This digital sketch is the basis for the mixed-media paintings I create on canvas or paper. In the paintings, I layer combinations of watercolor, acrylic, crayon, pastel and oil paints to enrich and intensify color and light.

BIOGRAPHY
Born in the U.K., I graduated art college with a B.A in painting and printmaking and was later awarded the prestigious Granada Fellowship in Fine Arts. I was represented by major galleries in London and taught painting and drawing at several colleges of art. After my arrival in the U.S., I showed at galleries in New York City, Buffalo, Denver, and Colorado. I have exhibited extensively in the U.S. and abroad and my work is in numerous private, corporate, institutional and museum collections.
