ALLAN LANE

Born 1975, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Allan Lane paints portraits of his subjects as a study of intrusive investigation, capturing the excess of candid facial expressions and emotions. Lane creates with acrylic paint on canvas, using broad, loose strokes balanced with definitive line work.

The subjects of Lane’s paintings are family members, friends, or associates, from whom he will work from a reference image. Lane regularly paints self-portraits, furthering the investigation of human expression and emotions, often composing double or triple self-portraits.

Lane currently lives and works in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
