Alan Marshall Artist – Up Close and Personal

Alan Marshall Portrait Artist Studio Image

Alan Marshall was born in Barnsley, England in 1941.
Deceased 2021

“My paintings are my way of expressing the unique and clear light of Australian very early mornings and late afternoons in contrast to the soft filtered light of Europe”  

Since moving to Australia in the early 1980’s Alan Marshall has captured this unique light in his atmospheric paintings of many Australian seascapes and landscapes.

Residing in Perth since 1981, Alan Marshall has mastered the art of painting the Australian light, capturing beautiful atmospheric moments that are fleeting in real time, the changing intensity of light and colours that are gone in a blink to remain only in memory.

Alan Marshall studied drawing, painting and sculpture at Fairfield House, Barnsley School of Art. In 1976 he was among a group of British Artists granted awards by the Arts Council of Great Britain. He lived for a time in France, working in Paris and Provence and later in Barcelona, Catalonia and Southern Spain. Alan Marshall has exhibited widely in England since 1961 and in Australia since 1983, with several international exhibitions in Italy since 1996.
