Alan Thorpe sadly died in 2005, although we are privileged to be able to show his remaining work. |
|
Alan had a deep love and fascination for land and seascape and the Yorkshire Coast provided an endless supply of subject matter and much of his painting involved water and reflections. |
|
He regularly travelled abroad where he used a much broader and brighter palette, reflecting a strong impressionistic influence. His favourite visits were the Balearic and Greek Islands. |
|
The vista before him gave him a basis for his work, enabling him to explore deeper into his creative thinking and allowing him a freedom to express his personal relationship with the subject. His paintings are full of atmosphere and evocative mood. |
|
Alan's paintings are held in many private collections and galleries throughout the UK and abroad. |
