I have been told that my work is "uniquely refreshing and beautiful"! many photography purist ask me why I have ruined a perfectly good photo. I respond with the fact that they did not have my vision. I create a new world view with an over the top use of color and ultra contrast and sharpness. Here is one example from my collection on www.limitededitionsbyalan.com
"My creative process is a collaboration with nature. When materials react or as they are drying, it is the elements of temperature, space, time, humidity, and wind that determine how a piece will be transformed. This collaboration is a continuous process: if the day is hot; if my materials react in a particular way; if I use pigments; if it is windy, there will be a gap in the canvas. I use organic materials: natural pigments, different textures, marble dust, sand, flax oil, and paints that I create. Crucially, fabric occupies the main space. I believe we often forget the important role played by both the easel and the canvas. In my work, the weave of the fabric always plays a fundamental role."
