About Alan Weston

 
 
  • Biography
    I am a graduate of Falmouth School of Art & Design where I studied Graphic Design. I am currently living and working in the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, UK. The inspiration for my paintings comes mainly from Cornwall's amazing coastline and it's many moods, particularly around Gribbin Head on the South coast.
    I worked for some years as a book illustrator and then as a photo-realist painter so my natural style tends to be quite realistic. Although my current paintings seem to be a departure from this and appear rather abstract, they are in fact quite tight and realistic due to the rarely noticed delineated nature of the patterns on the water. 
    I work in oil on canvas but usually on occasionally gesso-coated wood panels.
