Featured Artist Profile
Colin
McAllister
Hometown: Berkeley, CA
Colin McAllister (b. 2006) focuses on capturing the spirit of the world around him, transforming everyday moments and objects into resonant, entrancing images. His acrylic-on-canvas works invite viewers into subtly rendered, loosely painted worlds that feel like faint, almost-forgotten memories of a moment, place, or object. McAllister's paintings also center on compelling compositions that draw the eye deeper with each glance.
ART ON DISPLAY
Piece Name: Fluentem
This older piece was from a project focusing on local people and their passions. This painting focuses on my peer, Lorenzo Hernandez, who is a musician and photographer. Lorenzo is seen performing an unheard song on piano surrounded by a sea of red walls that emit a warm and intimate feeling. Within these walls you can see a surrealistic flowing formation happening toward Lorenzo, signifying his focus and flow of music.
