MIXED MEDIA PAINTING signed by the artist.

This original mixed media painting by Craig Alan belongs to his acclaimed work that blurs the boundaries between realism and abstraction, portraiture and collective narrative. Internationally recognized for his Pop Surrealist vision, Alan constructs his subjects, often iconic figures from popular culture, through a vast network of intricately rendered miniature figures. These individual elements, each painted with remarkable detail and purpose, converge to form a unified image that invites the viewer into a dual experience: the immediate impact of a familiar visage and the slow discovery of the microcosm within. Alan’s technique is not only visually arresting, but conceptually rich, prompting reflection on how identity, culture, and community are interwoven.
Raised in the American South and formally trained in studio art and theater design, Alan brings a uniquely multifaceted approach to his original works. From his early beginnings sketching on the streets of New Orleans to commanding space in major galleries and private collections, his career is a testament to both artistic discipline and visionary experimentation. The Populus series, of which this piece is a part, was born from an epiphany on a balcony overlooking Orange Beach and has since evolved into one of the most iconic and collectible series in contemporary art. Alan’s ability to transform countless individual narratives into a single, cohesive image speaks to the core of his artistic philosophy: art must both inspire and reveal. This work is a striking embodiment of that ethos, an original creation by an artist who continues to shape the landscape of contemporary visual culture.
Collected by many private and prominent collectors.

Craig Alan
Craig Alan was born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California. Upon moving to New Orleans as a child, Alan worked as a street portrait artist, using the opportunity to practice his figure drawing, as well as earn money for school and supplies.
The creative vision came naturally to Alan and he continued to develop technically and conceptually through his own diligent studies. It was not until his sophomore year at the University of Mobile, Alabama, that Alan formally began to train in arts. His affinity for the subject was immediately apparent. He continued to concentrate in studio arts, earning an area award for academic excellence. The university’s most prestigious exhibition, “Art with a Southern Drawl,” featured 42 of Alan’s pieces, chosen from a field of more than 1,600 submissions.
A minor concentration in theater provided Alan with additional techniques in makeup and set design. This added expertise supported his exploration of mixed media constructions. His skills combine to form elaborate textures, hues and compositions in his pieces. Alan’s artwork reveals a technical sophistication as well as an elaborate imagination.
Constantly craving new ways to link contemporary expressions to traditional art, Alan hopes to travel to Europe in search of artistic artifacts as well as fresh and innovative ideas. He also intends to explore his own family roots and cultural nuances in England and Scotland. Eventually, Alan plans to earn his master’s degree in studio arts in order to teach at the college level. His biggest dream is to own and manage his own atelier. He continues to exhibit his artwork across the United States.

"Audrey with Stars" Mixed Media Audrey Hepburn Portrait on Panel Board
By Jon Davenport
Located in New York, NY
This piece depicts a colorful collage composition portrait of Audrey Hepburn, as Jon Davenport explores the process of deconstructing iconic imagery from the past and present. Davenport start’s out with photos of his paint-stained studio floor and collages in articles/advertising from an array of vintage magazines collected over the years; plus any other interesting stuff captured on his travels. He then transfers the images to a panel board, layering them on with gel medium, together with strokes, splashes, drips, and splats of paint. Once it's dry, another layer of gel medium is poured on to give it a melting effect. After it drys off again, another layer of paint is added to embellish a few areas and to accentuate or fade out certain aspects. And then, he finally adds a coat of polyurethane for protection and making the colors pop. This unique work is executed on a wood panel board and comes ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso, signed by the artist lower right.
Art measures 36 x 36 inches
From biology student to owning and running a creative agency in London to a career as a fine artist, life has taken Jon Davenport on a rewarding and unconventional journey. Despite his scientific beginnings, he’s always had a strong artistic streak weaving its way through his different career paths. Growing up in Ipswich, UK, Jon was always an avid drawer, and could often be found with a pencil and paper in hand. With the arrival of his first computer, he embraced the new frontier of digital art and had work published in one of those early computer magazines.
His creative urges took a backseat to get a biology degree at Brunel University in London. It was afterward, in his first job working at the Archant newspaper group in Ipswich, that he quickly progressed from plate maker to becoming an integral member of the art studio. It was during this time that he taught himself photoshop, desktop publishing, and graphic & web design. After a few years, he set up a design agency, and eventually went full time and moved to London. This proved to be a successful move, working for a number of clients such as Nike and Virgin, and gaining praise from the likes of Richard Branson and Tony Blair.
It wasn’t until Jon moved to the USA to marry his wife, Atlanta artist Christy Kinard...
