Alan Lowndes Biography

Alan Lowndes Biography
Alan Lowndes reputation exceeds the boundary's of the North of England, indeed England itself as his work has gained respect in America and around the world. The Artist came from Stockport where his paintings depicted street life much in the way that Lowry depicted them. The influence of Lowry is strong in his work but doesn't over whelm it as it has so many others. His Father famously offered to pay his fare to go to Alderley Edge so he could paint some nicer scenery than the ones he was painting in Stockport. Lowndes later painted a series of Maritime scenes based around the St Ives area which has been an artistic haven and inspiration for many years. The works of Alfred Wallis seem to have made an impression on Lowndes and inspired him to paint some of his best work. Lowndes has attracted collectors from all walks of life but the theatrical contingent have been particularly strong collectors of his works, Richard Attenborough, David Tomlinson, the Laughtons, the Steigers to name but a few.
