WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE TO SAY

• A recent visitor to one of my exhibitions described my work as "Terrifying, Terrible, Not at all pleasant" - I took it as a compliment (AK)

• Alan King is best known for his Massurreal landscapes and the design of many of impossible figures and similar visual illusions. Works which both stimulate and challenge the onlooker.

• I love these pictures.  There's absolutely free rein for the imagination, and the result is exciting and thought-provoking. I particularly admire 'Room of Illusions' which I think is a fascinating perception - almost hypnotic! I love this work.

• Alan King's work conveys a sense of peace and deep feeling. His work reminds me a lot of Magritte, with the clouds in 'In the Valley All Was Still' creating a restful and implying a gentle breeze. I also feel he has an excellent sense of balance in his work. I find it fascinating and very innovative

• Alan King’s interest in the artists of the surrealist movement combined with his love of architecture, lead him to utilize the qualities of computer generated images to invent bizarre, immeasurable environments which results in the creation of strong vibrant alive and playful digital surrealism. Strong, bold, and rich with colour, these digital images are extremely well created.

• Brilliant and well thought out, the artist uses the obvious and yet almost un-noticed method of placing objects in such a way as to arrive at these surreal pieces, which appear to float.

• Alan King’s natural artistic flair and eye for perspective takes his viewers on a kaleidoscopic journey through an “uncommon looking glass”.

• Not just another Digital artist, I would say Alan King is one of the best for abstract landscapes I have seen in a while. A Must see…….

• Alan King is a passionate artist who has been working for years and one who continues to explore new modes of expression.

• Alan King is an experienced artist who turned his attention to the use of digital mediums to achieve his artistic vision.

• Alan's art is defined by his creation of intoxicating landscape compositions: executed in a style that he refers to as 'Artytechture'. Alan's distinctive works evoke the landscapes of prominent Surrealist painters, but have a definite contemporary edge to them.    

• SURREALISM NOW! is proud to present, with great pleasure, an amazing digital surrealist artist from the United Kingdom, ALAN KING!  I have always considered the Digital Art of Alan King's to be similiar to the Surrealism of Rene Magritte, yet, Alan takes it on a different surrealist path, always experimenting with Computer and Digital Art, Alan has created a large body of artwork, and its a pleasure to exhibit him here!
