ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Part of a series of images derived from conventional still-life and landscape paintings, processed and distressed (originally inspired by paintings of cyclamens where the forms of the flowers suggested crumpled paper and how discarded, distressed images commemorated in paint have a certain poignancy). Here a birch forest- harmonious in its vertical striping is photographed and rendered as a distorted book illustration then painted as a still life. The image has a compositional harmony and spareness; the gestural, impasto application of the paint creates a further layering of intention, distancing from the original subject whilst retaining its formal unity.

Richard Allen
United Kingdom
Richard Allen's work uses gestural brush strokes and thickly applied oil paint; it is based on intense observation exploiting the tension between the directly recorded and the photographically reproduced. Whilst his work is determinedly representational there is often a conceptual element at play, employing framing and mediating devices, pictures within pictures. His work- landscape, still life and portraiture- is sensitive yet viscerally painterly, and strongly atmospheric. Richard Allen has worked to great acclaim as an illustrator in the UK and US, working with clients such as the New Yorker, the Folio Society and Random House. He has garnered numerous international awards including the V&A Illustrator of the Year 2017; In recent years Richard has returned to painting, winning the Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2016 and taking part in several solo and group exhibitions. Richard Allen's work is held in public and private collections internationally.
