Alan Treister

Alan Treister, born in Miami, Florida, 1957, practices painting in Oakland, California.

I love my new work. These paintings are new to me and I made then all in the last 6 months. I pushed myself further than I have ever been before. I chose new colors: red, yellow, orange, and blue, that are strong and opaque. I worked on each painting alone, and pushed it as far as I could. It was a struggle and I kept working on it until something new happened. Every one is new to me, and opens up everything I always wanted to be as an artist.
