Guy Allen

Guy discovered his passion for print making during his time in Paris studying at the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in 2010, when he became particularly fascinated with the traditional etching process. Following his graduation from Central Saint Martins School of Art in 2010, Guy moved back to Norfolk for 18 months, from where he finds his inspiration before moving back to London. In 2012 Guy trained as an assistant print maker under Mary Dalton and Stanley Jones at Curwen Studios, Cambridge; where he had to learn at a fast clip how to master other types of print making. In 2013 and 2014 Guy had one of his etchings selected to be exhibited in the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London.

Guy is represented by Grandy Art and is working as a full time artist in London, he spends the majority of his studio in Peckham or when he is printing his etchings at Artichoke Printmaking Studios in London. Guy had a successful first solo exhibition in London with Grandy Art where he had a inspiring response from his horse studies, this year Guy is focusing on the horse as a subject matter.
