About Alan Fears

Shortlisted for the John Moores Painting Prize 2018. A naive artist, a graphic artist, a pop artist... I am a slice of each. My style is simple and direct. The theme in most of my art revolves around reminding myself, and everybody else, how great and stupid humans can be and therefore how great and stupid life can be. People, the world and humour float around in my head and eventually end up in my work. More info at; www.alanfears.com & www.fearsandkahn.co.uk
