Tony Allain has been painting for over thirty five years. He is a painter of light and movement, with a complete understanding of his surroundings. Born and raised in the Channel Islands. Moved to paint and live with the “Painters of Light” in St. Ives in Cornwall. The subjects he chooses are varied, ranging from marine and landscapes, town and street scenes through to still life. His painting has a brisk impressionist style, which is suited to the use of pastels, although equally successful in oils and watercolours. Tony has exhibited extensively over the years, his work can be found in many leading London and provincial galleries as well as private and corporate collections, including the Maritime Museum Guernsey. In 2004 received a commission for twelve paintings for the state rooms on board the “Queen Mary 2” the new flag ship for the Cunard Line. Has exhibited with the Royal Society of Marine Artists in London. His work is regularly featured in The Artist and Leisure Painter Magazines. Moved to Nelson, New Zealand in 2006 to capture the same unique light of Cornwall. Tony's work can now be found in galleries in both North and South Islands of New Zealand.
