Archive of Original Paintings by Alan Brain

This archive brings together original paintings that are no longer available — works that have been sold, gifted, kept in my studio collection, or otherwise retired from sale. Each piece represents part of my artistic journey and reflects the themes that have shaped my work: Space, Solitude, expressive abstract figures, the pull of Aviation Geometry, Minimalism, Surrealism and my deeper responses to War and Pollution.

Every painting here is a one-of-a-kind original created by me in my U.K. studio. Many now reside in private collections across the U.K., Canada, the USA, Europe and Australia. Others remain in my personal collection because of their meaning or their place in my development as an artist. Some of the paintings have been sold via international art societies such as The Royal Watercolour Society and The Society of Canadian Artists in Watercolour
