Naked Ladies (Gouache, 28cm x 28cm, 11" x 11")
Alan White has lived and worked in close proximity with art and artists for most of his life. His early training was at Ealing College of Art, a thriving establishment in the 1950's and 1960's and his talent was turned to good use when he chose advertising as a career, working as a graphic designer for a number of major London agencies before running his own company. After Alan retired, he still found he had the urge to paint. He began to work under Kevin Chapman in Richmond, drawing from life and working on paper in various media. His figure work combines an inventive economy of line with a subtle and expressive palette in pastel and watercolour. He has exhibited and sold at numerous galleries and art fairs, and his work is included in private collections across Europe and the United States. Recently, he worked on some studies of the Bolshoi Ballet on stage during their sell-out British tour. Website: Alan White |
