Artist Paul Allen

Hello and welcome to my Art Gallery page. My name is Paul Allen and I am a Sculptor, working from my home studio in the medieval town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. I completed a BA in Fine Art at the University of Wales, Wrexham, in 2007 where I spent the final year specialising in figurative sculpture. My work is mainly figurative and expressionist in content. I find that the figure is an ideal medium for expression, and just the slightest adjustment in the fingers or tweak of the pose can make all the difference in the expression of the final piece. I use anatomy books to inform my work and attend regular life drawing classes to give me a better understanding of the shapes and form of the body. My chosen medium is wire and wire mesh as I enjoy the amazing versatility and strength that they both offer. I really enjoy creating a piece of art out of such mundane materials, there is something very satisfying about transforming a common roll of wire into an attractive figure and giving it a new life and purpose. I find a lot of inspiration in looking at the work of the many great figurative sculptors of the past i.e. Gianlorenzo Bernini, Auguste Rodin, Demetre Chiparus and I am continually inspired by contemporary artists that are moving figurative work forward, such as Antony Gormley and Ron Mueck. I hope that you enjoy looking at my work. Paul Allen.
