Majestic Hills by Allan Chow, 2010

















"Majestic Hills" is another interpretation of the Tallgrass Prairie of mine. One of the most magnificant attribute of the Flint Hills is the layers of pastures that look like a field of waves standing still. It is quite a sight. As I carved my way through the paint with my knife, there is always an urge to venture off my original composition and color palette. Whatever it takes to get the job done I suppose. Anyway, hope you all enjoy! Moving on.......

BKD Kansas City Commission























This was a commission by BKD of Kansas City, this painting now resides in their new building
off 12th and Walnut downtown Kansas City office. The Scarritt building located on the far left of the painting was their first location. The setting sun helped give this painting most of its' warmth palette with complimenting blue greens in the shadows. It was a fairly large painting but finished just in time for the opening day. I hope they like! Thank you BKD!

Flint Hills Forever @ Strecker Nelson Gallery














Last night was an incredible night at the Flint Hills Forever opening. I had the pleasure of meeting many Artists that I admire. Meeting the personality behind each masterpieces gives me even more admiration for their work. My dearest friends Bill and Carol McCall were the first I greeted as usual.
Their work is phenomenal and they are simply just awesome people.

Above image: Debra Clemente- I had an eye for her work the first time I was in Strecker Nelson a few years back. Its good to finally meet the artist. Incredibly talented, warm and intelligent person. It was a blast hanging out yesterday!

Below: James Borger - It isn't hard to admire what he is doing. I exhibit in two galleries with this incredibly gifted painter. Through conversations we had at the opening yesterday, we have much in common professionally. Full-time Art Director, family man and an established Artist, now that is some determination and ambitious man. The depth and lighting is his mastery in his paintings.

SUMMER GARDEN IN REVIEW!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Round and Ripe: Allan Chow

By Steve Brisendine April 24, 2010

In the world of food, it's awfully hard to beat simplicity, freshness and careful preparation. And when edibles become the subject of visual art, the same things hold true.
Allan Chow's Summer Garden series of oil paintings, making its debut this month at the 39th Street location of Blue Koi, follows a simple and straightforward theme. Chow, usually known for land- and seascapes,  is working on a much smaller scale this time around.
He offers flawless, oversized, richly textured fruits and flowers, presented one to a canvas against clean (but also texture-intensive, thanks to his trademark palette-knife work) backgrounds. Placed as they are, on the left-hand wall in the restaurant's entryway, Chow's paintings provide a bright and bracing first course for the eyes even before diners take their seats.
The lush curves of skin (as typified in Cherry, pictured above) and petal add yet another dimension to the visual flavor profile: a layer of sensuality that ties in perfectly with the seductive aspects of food-sharing.
I just love how the theme goes so well in restaurants, especially at one of my favorites in town, Chow writes. My goal is to travel all over town the rest of this year exhibiting these series of paintings.
To that end, the next stop on the tour will be at ARTichokes in Leawood's Mission Farms development. The Summer Garden works go on display there next month ... and as convenience would have it, there's a Blue Koi location in Mission Farms as well, enabling those who love Chow's bold, sun-drenched paintings and the restaurant's noodles and dumplings to get both fixes in virtually one stop.
Nothing wrong with combining simple pleasures, after all ...

YOUR COMMENTS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED,
To Comment on the exhibit please go to:  http://ereview.org/2010/04/24/round-and-ripe-allan-chow/


Thank you Steve my man! This man is not only an Artist but he is committed to supporting local Artists in our beautiful and enriched Kansas City!

This painting wasn't the plan today but I had some paint left from my last painting and decided to just paint another pear while I am eating one. This time a Bartlett pear. It's better than throwing $50 bucks worth of paint down the trash. This was painted on a Gallery Stretched canvas. A dark border painted all the way around it's side so frame isn't necessary. Ready to hang. Enjoy!
