Alan Gouk

About The Artist

Recent Paintings, a joint exhibition by Alan Gouk and Steven Walker was at The Cut October/November, 2021.

Alan Gouk was a pre-eminent Abstract British painter, he was at his peak of artistic maturity at the time of this exhibition.

Commenting on an exhibition the following year that Alan Gouk had at the Hampstead School of Art, Robin Greenwood said:

“Alan’s paintings have an extraordinary dynamic surface. They warp and bend spatially, make powerful movements in many directions so far beyond the scope of what is customary in abstract painting that its sensual impact leaves one slightly breathless at the last. There is a cavalier boldness of attack and the whole thing feels in the balance. They brood and rock which resonates with the Artist’s own temperament”

The catalogue for that show is here.

Simon Read

I have always regarded drawing as my way of coming to grips with an idea on the assumption that if I can generate a satisfactory graphic solution, I shall have reached a more complete understanding of its subject.
