Andy Warhol Absolut Exchange Allan Banford

Allan Banford makes paintings, installations, mixed media and conceptual artworks. By contesting the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, Banford absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past tradition is important as an act of meditation.

His paintings isolate the movements of humans, emotions and objects. By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound. With a conceptual approach, he tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered abstract way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical texturized and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.

His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point.
