Produktbeschreibung
Covenant boasts the first collection of Allen's personal drawings and paintings. Each of his fantastical characters is accompanied by a line of text, a poem or a brief story that captures their essence. These visual narratives are pulled to the surface through Allen's renowned mastery of storytelling and his use of graphite, pencil and oils. The result is a fascinating journey into the mind of this intriguing artist. Allen's strength comes from his mystical connection to his work. He views himself as a guardian and creates artistic personas that serve the well-being of others. At first sight, his mythological characters may look odd, monstrous or grotesque. Yet they represent the good that can be found when you look below the surface of an individual. Allen has always liked the underside of things. He embraces the bits of mortality that poke out from under the skin. The artwork collected here addresses Allen's need to face the challenges that surround him while projecting himself into the art. He is driven by creating images based on the strength of an individual's actions, regardless of how they may be perceived for not conforming to society's semblance of beauty.

Autorenporträt
Allen Williams is an award-winning illustrator, concept designer and fine artist. From a young age, he found that a pencil and paper provided an escape and a refuge. Now internationally known, Allen has applied his talents to everything from illustration for gaming companies and book covers to concept work for major motion pictures and television. His vision for such projects ranges from illustration to concept work, as well as creature and character designs. Allen's personal work has a strong basis in reality but always flows into otherworldly aspects. He primarily works in graphite, gouache and oils. Multilayered images arise in his work, in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. Allen's drawings directly respond to his surrounding environment, and he uses everyday experiences and objects as a starting point for many of his pieces. These often feature framed instances and objects that would go unnoticed in their original context. By choosing mainly formal solutions, Allen tries to develop forms that do not follow logical criteria but are based only on subjective associations and formal parallels; these are meant to incite the viewer to make new personal associations within his work.
