From Online Selling to a Vibrant Gallery Experience
Alan Harris began their artistic journey selling original artworks online, a venture that paved the way for further exploration of their passion. Alongside their wife, Susana Harris who is also an accomplished artist, they opened a gallery in Newcastle. This experience was enriching, allowing them to connect with art enthusiasts and showcase their creations. However, the demands of running a gallery left little time for painting, prompting them to close the space. Since 2014, Alan and Susana has focused on working from their studio in the charming coastal town of Whitley Bay selling their work online that enable them to dedicate more time to their craft
A Lifelong Passion for Art
From childhood, Alan has been captivated by art and all forms of manual creativity. Their educational journey began at a grammar school, where the foundation for his artistic inclinations was laid. After completing his studies, Alan embarked on a career as a cabinetmaker, which honed his skills in craftsmanship and attention to detail. Over the years, he has explored various roles in both manual and administrative fields. Eventually, he retired from a position as a personal director at a company, allowing him to fully immerse himself in painting and later, sculpture.
Capturing the Essence of Urban Life
In his paintings, Alan expertly captures the atmosphere of modern cities—whether it's the pulsating energy of London, the romantic ambience of Paris, or the dynamic streets of New York. Through the use of traffic lights, cars, pedestrians, and the ever-changing weather, he creates scenes that are both familiar and evocative. Alan's ability to represent not just the physical space, but also the emotions and feelings tied to urban landscapes makes his art truly compelling.
Transforming Urban Beauty Into Art
Alan excels in extracting beauty from the complexities of large cities, transforming everyday moments into extraordinary visual narratives. His work goes beyond mere description; it encapsulates the essence of urban life, infusing it with a sense of wonder and emotion. Each canvas is a testament to his skill in portraying the beauty found within bustling streets, rainy evenings, and foggy mornings, offering viewers a chance to experience the magic of city life through his eyes.
