Paintings by Alan Todd

IMMENSAE[boundless]  is a series of works that draws upon ideas and approaches I have used over a lifetime. With origins in the late 60s, my work derives from the transition between Abstract Expressionism, which had dominated the previous two decades, and the post modernists and conceptual thinkers to come and treads an uneasy path between the various modes of thought.  In essence the paintings are born on the canvas but on the one hand there is the quest for an unadulterated artistic freedom guided by instinct and born out of gesture and line and on the other the interpretation small, seemingly insignificant, moments in time though a personal iconography.
