Recent Paintings by Alan Brain
Take a look at some of the work I've done recently - they are for sale from me the artist
Minimalism is my focus lately, saying more with less - it is a challenge, put in too much and it loses impact, put in too little and its just paint, get it right and it's wonderful. Please enjoy viewing these paintings I have given a short explanation of what I am trying to achieve against each one

New painting calle No Words for this One
Yes, that's the title. Everyone sees it their own way and there is a lot of interpretations ranging from fear to joy - so no words are possible to describe this painting. black lines
Minimal art and Colour Intensity
This recent painting is an intensity painting heavily interrupted by those two black lines. Painting intensities requires delicate use of colour with as few value changes. They can be beautiful - this one, at least for me needed a powerful difference hence the two black lines
So Minimal
Another one of my recent paintings combining minimalism with colour intensity. Iit is hard to see the colour variations on a computer screen - there are colour variations within the large rectangle that you cannot see.
Some surrealism here.
A lot of surrealism perhaps but with symbols - an empty bench and what is that discarded object on the left?
Uplifting colour and flying shapes
I may have got carried away with this one but I loved creating a sense of uplift (? not the right word, it's hard to describe). Anyway it's up to you to see what you see.
A personal favourite
This recent painting is one of my personal favourites. It's not everyone's taste I know but the simple (not easy) design captures my attention and puts over the reaction I want. It took me ages to get to this but it was certainly worth the effort.
Layering the paint.
Now this recent piece was for me a journey of discovery - I was trying layering and finally got it to work after several attempts. Layering gives a painting translucency and subtle colour variations - again hard to see on a computer.
Unmissable Paintings
Is this unmissable? The eye shape is impossible to ignore - it is looking at you! Some shapes are like that, this artist uses them for impact - it works.
