Alan Belcher
is a Toronto based visual artist whose conceptual work is decidedly multi-layered
and object orientated. He has been recognized in the past as an originator of a tactile fusion of photography
and object-making. A transparency of vision and simplicity of fabrication with a concentrated regard for
materials remain hallmarks of his serial productions. Belcher is known for a directness and a sharp simplicity
when approaching difficult subject matter. A sense of humour and a reverence for a Pop sensibility, as well as a
hands-on approach, invade much of his work. A self-taught artist, he was co-founder and co-director of Gallery
Nature Morte with artist Peter Nagy in New York’s East Village (1982–88). Works by Belcher are held in
various public collections which include the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Centre Georges Pompidou
(Paris), Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), Le Consortium (Dijon), Musee des Beaux-Arts (Montréal), Deste
Foundation (Athens), Fotomuseum Winterthur (Zurich), Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), MoCA San Diego,
Morris & Helen Belkin Art Gallery at UBC (Vancouver), and Musée Nicéphore Niépce (Chalon-sur-Saône,
France) —as well as numerous private collections.
Alan Belcher works with, and is represented by: Tara Downs in New York City, greengrassi in London U.K.,
Hunt Gallery in Toronto, and Galerie Eli Kerr in Montréal.
