Allan Gorman, Painter

Brooklyn NY-born, Allan Gorman (1947) is a self-taught painter who brings his strengths as an internationally decorated ad man and graphic designer to artworks that certainly reflect his own unique and distinctive brand. Soaring chrome exhaust pipes set on a stark blue sky, mirrors that reflect the geometries of industry, a macro trip inside a pocket watch mechanism – hard angles, strong colors and carefully thought-through compositions permeate works that have been seen in dozens of gallery and museum shows and private collections in both the US and Europe.
