Original artwork description:

Painted as a mash up of art containing things my young son likes and identifies with namely Basquiat with his skulls and crowns and Peppa Pig who also wears a crown in this homage. Painted in oil and finished with burnished gold leaf on the crowns to reflect the last years crazy events - he loves it.

About the artist
Martin Allen is a London based artist. Martin came to oil painting through a circuitous route, having drawn for most of his life and being largely self-taught he was eventually re-introduced to oil painting as a preferred medium to create his varied and diverse work. The methods he uses to paint are classic ones, using layered paint applications rounded off by oil glazes. These create, add depth and harmonise colours. He has shown solo numerous times at Goodwood, The Affordable Art Fair and others, been a finalist at the ‘London art Biennale 2019’, alongside various commissions including work for the BP Shipping collection.
