About:
Alan Lankin was born and raised in Vineland, NJ and became interested in drawing as a teenager.

He has exhibited his paintings in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Arizona. He lives and works in near Philadelphia.
Artist Statement:
“My paintings, acrylic on canvas, are abstract explorations of color and shape, line and mass, movement and balance. I begin my paintings with a plan. The original concept is just the beginning, however – I respond to what he sees happening on the canvas. I works improvisationally, intuitively developing the image. My love of color and movement, music and dance are reflected in the painting’s shapes and lines. The finished work often reveals the history of revisions in the pentimenti of paint. The paintings embrace ambiguity and are imbued with multiple meanings.”
