About Michael Alan
- Michael Alan (born July 13, 1977, New York, NY) is a New York City based artist.
- He works in various media, including drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, video and performances. In 2010, Robert Shuster of The Village Voice wrote, in reviewing Alan's solo show Harmonious Opposites, “Alan’s thread-like lines are manically impulsive; they barely go an inch without detouring.
- Short, jagged strokes, tiny loops, and quick arcs make jittery, skeletal outlines of distorted human forms.
- Hasty daubs of blues and pinks wrap the frames with translucent skin while also conveying the blur of movement.
- Alan loves motion; in Move in Distance, a dancer’s five legs, kicking up in successive positions, pay homage to those futurist studies in dynamism.
- Even the reclining male figure of Prostitution looks restless—the angular, attenuated limbs and their busy surfaces bring to mind one of Egon Schiele’s more anxious self-portraits.”
