Michael Alan
Michael Alan (born July 13, 1977, New York, NY) is a New York City-based artist. He works in various media, including drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, video and performances. In 2010, Robert Shuster of ''The Village Voice'' wrote, in reviewing Alan's solo show ''Harmonious Opposites'', “Alan’s thread-like lines are manically impulsive; they barely go an inch without detouring. Short, jagged strokes, tiny loops, and quick arcs make jittery, skeletal outlines of distorted human forms. Hasty daubs of blues and pinks wrap the frames with translucent skin while also conveying the blur of movement. Alan loves motion; in ''Move in Distance'', a dancer’s five legs, kicking up in successive positions, pay homage to those futurist studies in dynamism.
