Alan Brassington is an internationally acclaimed artist. He also loves portraiture and is an experienced sculptor.
He was born in Zimbabwe 1959 and his family moved back to Ireland in 1964. He studied at the Northwich School of Art, Cheshire and then at Stockport School of Art.
Alan is fascinated by the power and beauty of horses and this is reflected in many of his paintings. The colourful panorama of the turf, with its intrinsic drama and excitement, has proved a powerful magnetism. “I love painting horses and people. The racetrack is irresistible, it is an entire world of its own. If you see a special horse in the parade ring it is easy to understand why one would be so inspired by this animal with its grace, its beauty, its intelligence and its strength.”
Alan is the artist in residence to Royal Ascot Racing Club and lives in Gloucestershire.
His work can be found in the collections of Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Devonshire, Ralph Lauren , Michael Tabour , Victor Chandler and many more.
This watercolour is titled "The Finish at Aintree" and was signed and dated by Alan in 1997
