Alanna Eakin Abstract Paintings

Alanna Eakin is an emerging British painter. She completed a BA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins London, graduating in 2010. It is only in the past few years, Eakin has gone on to seriously develop her professional art career and has since taken part in several exhibitions and art fairs in London and nationwide. She is currently working from her studio in Wimbledon, London. Eakin creates gestural abstract paintings inspired by the sensations, forms, light and colors found in nature. She has an obsession with color, rural landscapes from around the world and also florals found in nature. The form can often develop in her paintings but usually as a result of previously made marks and intuition and is not entirely representational. Eakin’s work has an initial immediacy when she creates. She predominantly uses acrylic paint and sometimes a mixture of other mediums to layer, edit and experiment.  Eakin ’s approach is inspired by the likes of Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Monet, Tracey Emin, Peter Doig, Georgia O’Keeffe and many more.
