1980
About the Item
Realistic figurative oil painting on canvas of a lone man working on an industrial construction site with a rust red backdrop
Palette is composed of grey gunmetal, deep rust red, black, mulberry, and golden yellow
Men at Work #5, painted by Allan Skriloff, ca. 1980's
42 x 54 x 2.5 inches with a custom steel frame
Excellent condition, ready to hang as is
Skriloff shines a glorified light on the muscles of men in hard hats that sweat and contort aboard an oil rig, elevating blue worker brawniness to an other-worldly status. This figurative painting highlights the beauty found in the every day. Scenes one might overlook are given careful attention by the artist's trained eye. A lone worker is captured behind a foreground of metal bars against a backdrop of rest red. Shadow's cast by the man's hard hat allude to his anonymity. The piece is complemented with a custom thin steel floater frame, is in excellent condition, and ready to hang as is.
About "Men at Work:"
While on a trip to Australia, I was in Alice Spring. Where I took an excursion to Palm Valley. My tour guide mentioned there was gas fields in a remote section of the Outback. I said I'd love to go there and he replied, "no worries, Mate - we'll get you there.” He happened to be a pilot and we flew in his prop plane two hours due west, landing at al man-made oasis in the middle of the desert. I spent several hours taking photographs of the site and the men at work. Over the next ten years I created 25 paintings, many of which are formed from several different photographs.
About the Artist:
Allan attended Pratt Institute in 1962 and 1963, then transferred to Parsons School of Design, studying interior design. He studied at the Art Students League the summers of 1964 and 1965, and then on and off for the next decade. Allan has shown at OK Harris and Jakendoff Bochi Gallery in SoHo NYC. He has also shown at General Electric Headquarters and Manhattan College. An amusing Allan factoid: he has had 6 paintings on The Days OF Our Lives soap opera over the course of several episodes that were meant to take place in an art gallery. More recently, Allan has shown at the Woodstock Art Association and Hunter Gallery. Three of his Oil Worker paintings series were bought by Precision Drilling oil company in Houston Texas. He has had several paintings on display and loan at the Emerson Resorts, an award-winning, four-diamond property here in the Hudson Valley. He is also represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York. Allan was supposed to have ten paintings from his musician series on display at the Woodstock Play House this season but due to Covid 19 it has been put on hold till next season. Allan was born in 1944 and grew up in Forest Hills, Queens section of N.Y. He attended both Pratt Institute and Parsons School of Design and after graduating had several Jobs with several interior design firms before striking out on his own by opening Interior Analysis which oversaw works around the world and published many times.

He began his art education 1936 Art with Italian and Greek artists at the "Atelier", in Alexandria, Egypt; continuing 1956 with Avraham Yaskiel and Zvi Mairovich, Haifa and with Moshe Propes, in Tel Aviv. In 1940 he obtained a diploma of commerce and opted for a career in the hospitality industry, following in the footsteps of his parents who operated the Majestic Palace Hotel in Alexandria. He moved to Cairo in 1942 to study Swiss Hotel Management at Egyptian Hotels Limited, the largest hotel company in the Middle East at the time.

He was put on the blacklist by the Ministry of Interior in Egypt, and in 1951 he managed to leave Egypt and came to Israel in September 1951 aboard the ship Artza. In 1956 he attended a drawing and painting course with Meirovich and Avraham Yaskiel in Haifa. He organized the Jerusalem Art Cellar in 1958 and settled in Jerusalem.
