Alan McGowan is a Scottish figurative artist best known for his powerful, emotionally charged paintings that explore the vulnerability and complexity of the human form. Working primarily in oil and charcoal, McGowan's expressive brushwork and subtle use of tone evoke a raw intimacy rarely seen in contemporary figurative art.

His work is widely collected across the UK and internationally, and has been exhibited in major galleries and art fairs. McGowan often draws inspiration from classical techniques, but reinterprets them with a modern sensibility—focusing on the psychological tension between stillness and movement.

Whether capturing the quiet strength of a solitary figure or the layered intensity of gesture and gaze, McGowan's paintings resonate with collectors seeking bold, thought-provoking artwork.
