Guy Allen is a printmaker, exceptional draftsman and highly talented young British artist. With his experimental approach to printmaking, Guy presents an exciting mix of colour, gold-leaf and an original, contemporary take on the traditional art of etchings.
A graduate of Central St Martins, Guy has studied at École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Since then he has worked with the highly respected Curwen Studios in Cambridge, the Artichoke Studios in London and now works from his studio on the north Norfolk coast.
Guy’s inspiration and drive to create is fueled by his love of the printing press. With distinctive style, striking ability and total commitment Guy has mastered his printing-making techniques. Constantly exploring the infinite possibilities and opportunities the medium offers, he breathes new life into traditional techniques and subject matter.
Over the last 10 years Guy has been accepted by the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and shown internationally in London, Dubai and New York. His work is housed in private collections throughout the UK, as well as Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Singapore and Hong Kong.
