Alan Salisbury studied painting at Manchester and Liverpool Colleges of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. living in Wales since 1974 he was formerly Principal Lecturer at University of South Wales.
Post Modernist ideas with regard to originality, cultural hierarchies, and the role of irony conceptually underpins the work.
I have long been fascinated by the Still Life tradition and the allegories, stories, and meanings embedded into the depiction of simple objects. In the works submitted here of iconic still life fruit bowls I have attempted to incorporate within the feelings I have that we live in troublesome times.
