Alan Singer, NY Times art critic comments that “Singer’s art has the refreshing jauntiness found in the pioneering American abstractionists”
Alan Singer, a native New Yorker, paints, draws, and makes prints. He writes and lectures about art and is Professor of Art at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Tradition is married to high tech in his most recent work, and innovative printmaking techniques are employed to make images that have a visionary aspect. Taking a page from the virtual world of digital technology and creating a hybrid artform with painting, Alan Singer’s art has drama and a music all its own. William Zimmer, New York Times contributing art critic, comments that “Singer’s art has the refreshing jauntiness found in the pioneering American abstractionists”.
Singer has an extensive exhibition record, with recent appearances in 2007 at The Redhouse Gallery and The Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY, and The Hoyt Institute near Pittsburgh, PA.
Singer began exhibiting his paintings while still in college at The Cooper Union in New York City. Through college and graduate school at Cornell University, he won scholarships, and created works of distinction in programs at Yale University, Norfolk, CT, at Boston University in Tanglewood Lenox, MA, and at The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME.
Subsequently, he has illustrated published books and worked as a graphic designer. In the 1980’s Alan designed and illustrated an award winning series of postage stamps with his father, Arthur Singer.
Alan Singer has published in American Artist, Arts Magazine, American Ceramics, and Metropolitan Magazine. He has a recent book published by Rockport Press, the 1999 publication of “Wildlife Art”, and a book in progress “ Studio Practice”.
Alan's paintings have been featured in museums such as the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse NY, The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA, and in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. His work has also been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, primarily in the New York area. He resides in Rochester, New York.
