ALAN WARING
Alan Waring (b.1967) is a Danish sculpturer, living and working in Reersø, Denmark.
During the past 20 years Alan Waring has established himself as a succesful artist with an emphasis on unique ceramic sculptures.
Continuing to explore and challenge the boundaries within his medium of.choice, Waring creates sculptures which oscillate between a respectful naturalistic representation of the stoic animal form and relatable human elements. The combination of the two make a complex almost surrealistic storytelling with an humorous twist.
The artist´s art originates from his love for nature. His fascination with animals was established when he as a young boy traveled to Africa and experienced the wildlife unfold in front of him. Alan speaks of himself as an "Animaliér", the french expression for an artist whose task it is to portray animals.
Form, harmony, muscle, power, ferocity and movement are combined with a longtime artistic understanding of the ceramic sculpture and its possibilities. The human intervention in nature´s ecosystem is what inspires Waring alongside the great paradoxes following the fact that we with modern technology are able to provide animals with prosthesis and implants. Waring´s art comments on human´s actions and their implications to the animal Wildlife and nature.
He has held exhibitions in galleries nationally and internationally and is represented in private collections in Denmark and abroad.
