“<strong>Alan</strong> <strong>McKee</strong>s work therefore presents itself as a new<br />
phase in a long and distinguished development. One perceives<br />
in it an intricate interweaving of ideas, as well as the<br />
confident use of the latest digital imaging techniques.<br />
Essentially what he does is to combine two apparently<br />
contradictory strands of development. The actual structure<br />
of his compositions is based on the work of artists such as<br />
Jozef Albers, Max Bill and Ellsworth Kelly, but this is overlaid<br />
with imagery taken directly from nature. In a certain<br />
sense, a close parallel to the way they are composed can<br />
be found in certain Japanese screens, which also combine<br />
a dramatic abstract framework with exquisite details taken<br />
directly from nature.”<br />
—Edward Lucie-Smith, International art critic and writer,<br />
Author of the comprehensive, Art Today<br />
“<strong>Alan</strong> <strong>McKee</strong>’s work reveals a hidden world of the imagination,<br />
something we delve into to discover a tactile beauty<br />
that is analogous to and with nature’s ontological cycles of<br />
life.”<br />
—John Grande, International art writer<br />
Author of Art & Nature

Artists’s Statement:<br />
The Fragility of Nature and its extension of nature in the world of technology is at the centre<br />
of my work. There has been a lot of press about scientific studies about nature but<br />
only now do we have proof that “nature is disappearing before our very eyes”. Technology<br />
has also allowed me in my process to manipulate nature on a cellular level dissecting it<br />
and making it appear as a new form to the viewer and inspire the viewer to have a<br />
“second look” and be more consciously aware of the value and beauty of nature.
