SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Alastair Proud develops wildlife paintings grounded in observation of the natural world. Born and raised in Dublin, he studied art in Wales, finishing in 1978. While still a student, his work was accepted for the annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists, of which he became a full member in 1986.
He favours watercolour for work in the field and oils for finished paintings. The coasts and islands of Pembrokeshire, together with the Scottish Highlands, provide subjects for his work. His paintings also illustrate books and magazine articles. Kruger Lion, a signed oil on panel, demonstrates a repertoire extending beyond birds and British landscapes; the painting is documented in a London auction held in 1999.
