Artist Allan Gorman
To capture his unconventional subjects, Gorman travels the American landscape and focuses on buildings, elevated trains, gas stations and machines. Hidden abstract patterns, random shapes and aesthetic tensions in manufactured objects fascinates him. He says that his subject is a mere starting point for his formal and expressive exploration and defines his works as abstract compositions nested in the guise of realism.
His work has been included in more than 100 showings in museum exhibitions, galleries and major art fairs. In addition, many corporate and private collections throughout the United States and Europe feature his artwork.
The Art and Design Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
