Craig Alan x Taglialatella Galleries | 2024

September 19, 2024 – Taglialatella Galleries Toronto is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition featuring the work of acclaimed artist Craig Alan. On view from October 4-18, this highly anticipated show will highlight Alan’s distinctive and celebrated approach to contemporary portraiture and abstract composition.

A native of California, Craig Alan demonstrated an early affinity for the visual arts, refining his skills through both formal training and independent study. His technical proficiency, combined with his creative vision, has solidified his reputation as a leading figure in portraiture. Alan’s acclaimed artworks originated from a moment of inspiration when he observed a crowd from a balcony and saw shapes forming among the gathered figures. This initial concept has since developed into one of his most renowned collections, characterized by intricate depictions of individuals that collectively form larger, cohesive compositions. Through this body of work, Alan masterfully explores themes of abstraction, form, and space.

Featuring a range of works that demonstrate Alan’s ability to merge the figurative and conceptual, the artist invites viewers to engage with both the intricate details and overarching narratives within each piece. From a distance, the artworks reveal larger forms, while close inspection unveils finely rendered figures that contribute to the overall composition.

This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to experience Craig Alan’s innovative contributions to contemporary art. We invite collectors, art enthusiasts, and the general public to visit our Yorkville location for this extraordinary showcase.
