PEPE THE JACK - (ALAN MACDONALD EDT)

Reinterpretation - Alan Macdonald's (1962) work is instantly recognizable for its theatrical marriage of old master technique and modernity."Few artists' works absorb us as much as Alan Macdonald's painting: it is not just the many objects put together that make us look, the half-forgotten things taken from the classics and Caravaggio combined with the ephemeral mundaneness of sweetshops and childhood. It is the humanity of man, women or gods who look at us and tell us: 'I am here and the world is wonderful.' These great paintings remain with you even after a long time. "
