Allan's artistry
Allan Madsen uses the same technique in his artistry as the old 17th century masters where he first covers the canvas with a base color and then starts building the strucure and motif. It's the feeling and atmosphere that is important in his paintings and the motif is used to bring the viewer in to the picture.
Allan's paintings are often still life: fruits, shimmering glass and verdigris covered copper dish surrounded by a dreamlike dim. In Allan's art you often find influences from both barock and renaissance masters like Boticelli, Giotto, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci and musical influences from Monteverdi.
