About

Guy Allen is an experimental printmaker, draftsman and talented young British artist.  Working hard from his studio on the North Norfolk coast, Guy’s trademark experimental approach to printmaking presents an exciting mix of colour, gold-leaf and an original, contemporary take on the traditional art of etchings. Studying at Central St Martins from 2008 – 2011, Guy discovered the printing press on a trip to the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Finding an art form that lent itself so perfectly to his artistic aspirations was a revelation.  He has never looked back. Since then Guy has won a number of prices, include the Diana Brooks Prize at the Mall Galleries in 2018.

Growing up in Norfolk, the countryside and his love of animals have had a lasting impact on Guy’s work. This inspiration and drive to create is fuelled ever further by Guy’s love of the printing press. With distinctive style, striking ability and total commitment Guy has mastered his printmaking techniques. Constantly exploring the infinite possibilities and opportunities the medium offers, he breathes new life into traditional techniques and subject matter.
