Dinner with the Artist-Hosted by ARTichokes and Room 39

Alright! I am going to let you all on something pretty darn cool! On May 26th, Room 39 and Artichokes in Mission Farms are hosting a Dinner with the Artist event honoring me as the Featured Artist of the month. What this mean is that you get to relax, have dinner and participate in an open conversation about my creative process and how my career as a fine artist started. It is a story of how Fine Art found me as I was searching for myself as a painter while pursuing a career as an Illustrator. It has been a life long passion of mine as someone who enjoyed drawing since age 5 and will be a life long effort to find my way to making a difference in the world with my gift in life. 

A signature drink will be created specially for that evening and will be included in your three course meal. 

If you would like to learn more, please visit ARTichokes to reserve or call (913) 322-9481

About this Piece

Modern landscape Artist Allan Chow's new subject matter further showcases his talent with a palette knife, applying thick impasto in brilliant colors found only in dreams. His latest paintings represent a process of discovery and understanding of change -- search for deeper awareness between the self, creative process and it's relevance in the world.

About the Artist

Allan Chow’s oil paintings are in several corporate and civic collections, including H&R Block, the Overland Park Convention Center, the Kauffman Foundation, Russell Stover Candies, and the University of Kansas Hospital. Private Collectors range from Kansas City, to Seattle, to Santa Barbara and Hong Kong. Allan has received awards from the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, New York and Korea, and has been featured in the Kansas City Star on four separate occasions.

Represented by the Leopold Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri and Strecker Nelson Gallery in Manhattan, Kansas; Allan is a highly regarded painter of abstracted landscapes and of the Kansas City Skyline. In addition, Allan’s career has now branched out to include the San Francisco market.

Allan paints with a palette knife, normally with the application of a thick impasto. It is for the sophistication of his style, and the passion with which he paints, that he has established a national following.

Blue Grass Valley - Original Painting - By Allan Chow 2011

This is definitely one of my favorite paintings that I have completed. If you spend enough time in the Flint Hills. Those are the signature colors of the land during a clear day when the grass is still green from the rain. Other than sunset, that is my second favorite time of the day. I am still not sure what to call this painting yet but for now lets go with "Blue Grass Valley." A classic mid-western title.

Enjoy!

Take care,
Allan Chow

International Artist Magazine 77: Finalist

BREAKING NEWS: 

Two months ago, I submitted a few paintings including "Over Majestic Hills" to an online Art competition hosted by International Artist magazine's Challenge No.61, subject: Landscapes. A few weeks went by and I found out that this painting was accepted as a finalist and will be published in the Feb/March Issue. 

What a great way to start the New Year! This painting also took home "Best of Show" at a local juried exhibition last fall.

This is only the beginning. Stay tune for this year's upcoming Art exhibits featuring some of my current landscapes and still lives.

Cheers,
Allan Chow

Three Green Pears by Allan Chow

By: Allan Chow 2010


I once recall someone told me that the harder you work, the luckier you get. Well, this happens to be one of those paintings that was headed one direction but halfway there, I realized that it is going towards another. One that I liked even more so I left it alone. 


Enjoy!

Allan's Workshop at Artichokes

This evening, I had prepared a composition inspired by a Flint Hills' trip last year of mine for my students to paint. Flint Hills are not an easy subject to paint especially when you are creating the depth and also the complex clouds that compliments the rolling hills. Anyway, they did an outstanding job and here are some works in progress.

This workshop is 4 weeks long. We started our first class on October 14th. All levels of painting are welcome. I prepare a diverse range of subject matter for students to paint. Each week we spent time talking about technique and applying what we learn right away. They are encouraged to do what they please and I usually come around and help them individually if they are stuck but most of the time, they bring their own personality that each painting is different.

Students at Artichokes are provided a canvas and other necessary art supplies.. You just show up. Wine is provided :) 
Visit their website for up and coming Artists demos, workshops and painting classes.

My next workshop is a ONE DAY class held at Artichokes on November 9th. It is around 2 hours long and the sky is our subject matter. Stay tuned!

Here is Dennis applying his under painting with some blue paint to establish values and also to cover the entire canvas with paint.

Sue has started painting her field by applying green paint and some hints of oranges as highlights. Her fav. subject matter is landscape.

Many of these students have never painted nor used a palette knife. Although with an open mind and courage to try new things will allow one to create wonders.

Until the next time, have a great day and happy painting.
