Alistair Grant’s artistic journey mirrored many of the great artists of his generation. He studied under archrealist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker at Birmingham School of Art in the 1940s. An education in traditional draughtsmanship was cemented by three year further at the Royal College of Arts under Carel Weight and Ruskin Spear. Over the post-war period he experimented with printmaking processes and remained alive to the strong currents of international expressionism flowing across the Atlantic.
By the last decades of the century he was working in purely abstract forms. Returning to the coast and landscape around his childhood homes in Normandy & Pas de Calais his painting flourished, injected with a renewed vitality that produced some of his best work. This collection is drawn entirely from that period and sourced directly from the artist’s family.
