Hand-signed oil on canvas original by Alan Somers.

Influenced by memory, photography, and imagination, Alan Somers creates work that uncovers the emotional undercurrents of a place. Rendered with remarkable depth, his evocative cityscapes transform nighttime urban environments into symphonies of shadow and luminescence.

Mixing custom palettes with a refined use of light and shadow, Somers crafts both mood and narrative. His paintings carry a significant sense of texture and movement, echoing the fast-paced atmosphere for which cities like London and New York are known. Deliberate brushstrokes and layered oils build a tangible environment of mist, glow, and quiet tension.

Often capturing fleeting moments of illumination in urban settings, Somers’s artwork balances intimacy and grandeur, solitude and momentum, creating a sense of cinematic stillness.

“There’s no right or wrong way to create art. The right way is whatever makes you feel something.”
