Alain Amar

Artist Alain Norman Amar extrapolates and transforms physical features and environmental qualities of nature into textured and vibrant representations of the ephemerality of life.

​

The nearly meditative nature of his art engages with the transitory and transcendent aspects of human experience and perception.

​

His art, realised by applying oil paint and beeswax onto wood panels, conveys the reflective quality of nature, situating the viewer within a simultaneously recognizable and allusive outdoor space.

​

Rather than from an external source, the luminosity in each piece comes from within, and is conveyed by layering dark and contrasting light colour variations.

​

Through his art, natural phenomena become abstracted, yet approachable, in their symmetries and singularities. Gestural brush strokes provoke directional movement and evoke the ever-moving character of natural forces. The addition and subtraction of colours, patterns, and materials, create multi-sensorial stimulations that invoke auditory and visual, fragrant and tactile memories. His work exists as a non-projective lens aiming to inspire the personal evaluation of human emotions relative to the physical world.

​

Alain Amar’s belief that nature softens the human perspective and elevates the human condition is the guiding principle behind this new collection, titled “Imagination is Everything”.
