Collection: Alan Stones

Since graduating from St. Martin’s School of Art, London in 1971, Cumbria based Alan Stones has worked full-time as an artist - making paintings and original prints, with drawing at the heart of things.

Early on in his career Alan won an award from the Gulbenkian Foundation to experiment in lithography and this has proved to be such a fertile medium for him.

Alan’s work is invariably ‘to do’ with people and when depicting other subjects these are usually aspects of nature standing as metaphors for human activities. Alan’s imagery is quiet and deceptively simple but the viewer is drawn in and is soon bringing his/her own interpretation to the pictures.
