The eye catches what the mind cannot: a beauty born of irregularity, sensed beneath language, beyond the edge of awareness.

Alistair is an internationally recognized artist. Inspired by the torn layers of subway posters, Alistair developed a unique technique that combines painting with collage and décollage. Rather than using pre-decorated materials as in conventional collage or décollage, he works with layers of blank paper on canvas, painting directly onto them with textured brushstrokes and color. These painted layers are then unpredictably combined through processes of collage and décollage, creating a dynamic and integrated surface.

Rooted primarily in painting, this approach has also expanded toward more figurative subjects and reflections on historical tragedies. Through this process, time becomes an additional dimension within the work.
