Alan Brown's style varies from photo-realistic to expressionistic, always with the figure as his central focus. Alan explains, "My recent work examines humanness in relation to the natural world. The visual interplay is between figure, pattern, and object. The objects and patterns in my paintings serve always to reflect back upon the figure."
