Allan Banford is a contemporary fine artist specialising in acrylic figurative paintings, focussing on abstract surrealism. Reflecting his vision trough the Lacerations technique, the result is a unique and original conceptual experience, capturing the sense of recollection from an individual point of view via colour. His influences varied from classical masters such as Rembrandt and William Turner, to contemporary icons such as Francis Bacon and Gerhard Richter.
