Brooklyn, NY born Allan Gorman’s unique point of view and engaging style offers a nostalgic exploration (ala Hopper and Sheeler) of place, time and mystery applied to architecture, transportation and modern machinery. Recent work has been included as part of the NJ Arts Annual — a statewide survey of
contemporary art at the NJ State Museum; Mid-Atlantic New Paintings 2012 at the Ridderhof Martin Gallery in Fredericksburg, VA; The Governor’s Island Art Fair (NYC); in 30+ solo and invitational exhibitions in NJ, NYC and California; and a number of scheduled exhibitions in 2012 and 2013. Largely self-taught, Gorman took his first painting course with celebrated artist Power Booth (now Dean of Painting at University of Hartford) at NYC’s School of Visual Arts in the mid-1980s. More recently, he’s studied with artists Gary Godbee and David Kapp, and was awarded a month’s residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Jackson VT, in March, 2011. His work is in several private collections and has been published in two issues of Poets & Artists Magazine, America Art Collector, on the cover of Artists’ Portfolio Magazine and in Manifest Prize’s International New Paintings Annual 2 (Summer. 2012). Gorman is member of Studio Montclair and shows work at Anthony Brunelli Fine Art in Binghamton, NY and Gallery50, Rehoboth Beach, DE.
