Alan Fears is a British artist currently based in Nottinghamshire, England. He is a multidisciplinary artist well known for his paintings which reference pop culture of the past, and his portraits of 80s celebrities are probably some of the best you’ll ever see. In the spirit of his creations, you’ll find colour, pattern, and faces. He likes naive or outsider art and also he likes to tell a story, so he combines those elements in his work. He gets inspired by people, humans, he loves them and hates them at the same time. Visually, he likes to see colour and loose interpretations of things and people.

“Thematically, I try to communicate the idea that we are all equally ridiciulous and that none of us should take ourselves, or art for that matter, seriously. Serious people are the ones who ruin the experience of life, limit enjoyment and bum everyone out. The pointlessness in life is the point to life, that’s how it appears to me.”
