Alan Halliday was born in 1952. He trained at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London University and at St. John’s College, Oxford University where he was awarded a DPhil in the history of art. He has been a successful professional artist for more than thirty years, working as a painter in several different media, particularly oil on canvas and gouache on paper and is renowned as a deft and daring draughtsman, working fluently in pen and ink, sepia and sanguine.
His paintings are in the collections of several museums including the Victoria & Albert Museum; the Theatre Museum, London; the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington; and the Museum of London: and his work has been acquired by collectors across the world.
One of the best interpreters of the theatre since Sickert, Halliday has produced an extensive body of work which covers all the major ballet companies including the Bolshoi, the Mariinsky and the Royal Ballet as well as other major national and international Opera and Theatre companies.
Some comments on Halliday’s paintings of the theatre:
“Halliday’s paintings have a freedom and lightness about them and get to the essence of the subject.” Alan Bates, theatre and film actor, (‘Zorba the Greek’,’ Women in Love’).
“His work has a verve and immediacy, brilliantly capturing the magic that is the very essence of the performing arts. Dancers, actors, singers are caught in the act with Alan’s dashing brush and pen”. Derek Granger, film producer, (‘Brideshead Revisited’).
“Theatre is almost impossible to record, but Halliday’s paintings are alarmingly successful. They have the accuracy of observation, selectivity of memory and the intensity of imagination. They are what it was like”. Philip Franks, RSC actor and National Theatre director.
In addition to the paintings of performers in the theatre, Halliday also paints a wide range of other subjects. Please visit the ‘Collection’ chapter of this website to view a selection of this work. We carry a varied stock of Halliday paintings which cannot all be shown on the website. If you are interested in commissioning work or if you would like to see more of a particular subject, please contact us.
