Reality escapee Painting

Allen Wittert explores and blends abstract expressionism with people and places, cartoons and architecture and puts his findings on canvas Born in Johannesburg, Allen started his art career while still in his teens - drawing and designing for advertising agencies, and supported himself this way for many years. He moved to London in 1994, where he started painting to express the personal and emotional part of his nature that couldn’t be expressed through illustration. He moved to the United States in 2000, and over the next ten years he exhibited at the top galleries in Connecticut at the time : Ulla Surland Gallery in Fairfield, and the Rockwell galleries in Westport and Wilton. He moved to California in 2015 where he exhibited with the Jennifer Perlmutter gallery in Lafayette, CA for two years, while also showing with Ugallery and Saatchiart online. He currently maintains a studio in Kent in the UK. Allen says, '' We all have so much to process visually, and there are so many ways to project our visions, combined with feelings, upbringing, and culture that I try process that and try to make it visible. If there is a key theme that informs my work, it's people, how they appear and how they make me feel. In the last three years, as life does not go according to plan and we make mistakes in who we allow close to us, betrayal and cruelty have become a theme in my life and interestingly I find myself recovering from financial and psychological abuse, something that I will explore in my art and recover from, and yet, love trust and art is the route I go down.'' Since 2001 his work has become part of many private and corporate collections in the US and the UK, including Integrated Medical of CT, Dahl Architectural Group , , the Linda McMahon Foundation, Mark and Theresa Tillinger, and Stamford Health medical group and many more. Allen works in acrylic and printed media on canvas. He begins with either a charcoal sketch or by painting directly onto the canvas.
