Alan Furneaux

Title: Egypt

Description: Oil on Canvas, signed lower right.

A richly coloured composition inspired by an Egyptian setting, with stylised buildings, domes and towers arranged against a deep red and orange landscape. The scene is built through bold blocks of colour, with simplified forms creating a rhythmic, almost mosaic-like structure.

Palm trees and architectural details are reduced to graphic shapes, while the distant mountains and strip of blue water provide contrast and depth. The composition is held together through strong tonal harmony, with warm reds and oranges dominating the surface.

Typical of Alan Furneaux’s work, the painting balances structure and spontaneity, using pattern and colour to evoke atmosphere rather than describe it in detail. The result is a vibrant and decorative scene with a strong sense of place.
