Using traditional hammer and chisel techniques, Tom Allan MA, ARBS, PAI, SSA is a master of his craft. “Sculpture,” he says, “is an expressive art form, shaping stone to convey emotion, as a painter uses colour and form.” Also worked in marble, wood and bronze, his pieces are distinctive for their bold lines and sensuous form. Trained at Glasgow School of Art and in Carrara, Italy (famous for the white and blue-grey marble quarried there), Allan is a regular exhibitor – and prize-winner - at annual open exhibitions at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute, Visual Arts Scotland and Paisley Art Institute.
