Allen won one of Australia’s most watched landscape prizes last year; the Paddington Art prize. He has also won the Kedumba drawing award and has had 19 solo shows across Australia.
In this episode you’ll hear him talk about how Chinese brush painting fits in with his work, his interesting methods when it comes to brushes and he talks about another type of wilderness – the wilderness years before he started his Masters degree.
We recorded this episode in his studio in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, surrounded by his works which would be sent to Defiance Gallery in Sydney a few days later for his exhibition ‘Contour, weathered’.
To hear the podcast interview press ‘play’ beneath the feature photo, above.
A short video of Allen in his studio on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel can be seen below.
