Alan Charlton

Alan Charlton is a British conceptual artist living and working in London.

Alan studied at Camberwell School of Art and the Royal Academy School, and from the very beginning of his artistic journey, since 1969 he has worked with only one color - gray. For Charlton, it is the most important as well as emotional color in existence, being, for example, the color of melancholy. "I am an artist who makes a gray picture" - this principle he follows all his life.

Alan Charlton creates simple, monochromatic gray abstractions based on rectangular shapes placed in space in a planned way. His conceptual works, uniformly painted in different shades of gray, often consist of simple geometric shapes broken down into modular elements.

Charlton's work has been exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Castello di Rivoli in Turin and the Tate in London.
