Michael Alan (born July 13, 1977, New York City, New York) is a New York City based artist. He went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City and taught classes there.〔 In 2010, Robert Shuster of the ''Village Voice'' wrote, in reviewing Alan's solo show ''Harmonious Opposites'', “Alan’s thread-like lines are manically impulsive; they barely go an inch without detouring. Short, jagged strokes, tiny loops, and quick arcs make jittery, skeletal outlines of distorted human forms. Hasty daubs of blues and pinks wrap the frames with translucent skin while also conveying the blur of movement. Alan loves motion; in ''Move in Distance'', a dancer’s five legs, kicking up in successive positions, pay homage to those futurist studies in dynamism. Even the reclining male figure of ''Prostitution'' looks restless—the angular, attenuated limbs and their busy surfaces bring to mind one of Egon Schiele’s more anxious self-portraits.” 〔Shuster, Robert http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-07-20/art/tim-hawkinson-s-one-man-band-michael-alan-s-harmonious-opposites/ ''The Village Voice'', Tuesday, Jul 20 2010〕 In addition to his work as a multi-media artist, Michael is the founder and director of the Living Installation, where human beings are transformed into unique, living art objects. These happenings are set to Alan’s original music, which is recorded featuring artists such as The Residents, Tommy Ramone, Ariel Pink, and Meredith Monk. Alan's works cross various media, including drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, video, music, and performances.〔http://www.michaelalanart.com/art/bio/〕 ==Birth & Early Life== Alan was born in the summer of 1977, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, during the New York City blackout. He lived in Brooklyn before his parents (Raindrop & Woof Woof) settled in Staten Island. Alan is an only child and spent most of his time drawing before becoming a club owner and promoter in his teens. By combining his fine art and promoting talents, Alan wanted to create a place where artists could create and socialize, The Draw-A-Thon. These events became a staple in the NYC art scene. Eventually the Draw-A-Thon 〔http://www.villagevoice.com/slideshow/michael-alans-draw-a-thon-92305/〕 grew into live performances called Living Installations where Alan transforms models into sculpture to his own music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Alan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
