"His
art captures one of the many explosions that take place in the ultimate
physical contact sport. The drawing captures rugby at its dynamic
best. Absolutely superb"
Paul Trevillion, Artist and Sports Illustrator (Roy of the Rovers)
Allan Storer, M.A. studied at the University of
Wales, Swansea, Chelsea School of Art and Kings College, London.
Presently painting his dynamic Rugby Art Paintings
within earshot of Twickenham Rugby Stadium, London and Swansea,
South Wales; his rugby art images are recognisable for his thick
impasto technique, giving a textural and sculptural quality to the
work.
Allan Storer’s distinctive style involves
working with the key lines that shape the rugby images and then
with visible brushstrokes and palette knife emphasising the rhythm
and movement within the rugby painting. The thick paint appears
to pin the rugby player to the canvas giving simultaneous and oppositional
effects of speed, struggle and forced restraint.
Most paintings are based on images of England Rugby,
Ireland Rugby, Scotland Rugby and Wales Rugby. Allan Storer will
accept specific commissions for individual requests. His original
paintings and rugby prints are an ideal gift for the rugby sport
enthusiast, who is both a lover of art and the rugby game. Please
email Allan Storer for more information at allan@rugbyarts.com
Other works by the artist include life study art
pieces, which are striking images portrayed in both paint and thick
charcoal. His influences are Frank Auerbach R.A., Welsh artist,
Sir Kyffin Williams R.A and Lucien Freud.
Allan Storer is also available to give lectures
and talks in his specialist area of Surrealism and the History and
Theory of Modern Art, please contact by email for further details.
