Alan Pearsall

My name is Alan Pearsall. I am an artist born and raised in New England, but

now I reside in Columbia, SC. I create large-scale art and murals. My style is

versatile, but my most popular projects echo the mural styles of the public

works of the thirties and I use the techniques popular with the American

Realist movement. My strength lies in my ability to tell a narrative in my

work. I feel murals are a great way to explain historical events or cultural

experiences. The visual story can reach the young or people of any language

background.

When I work, I involve the locals, as a way of connecting the art to the

community. I use local faces as models and lecture at local schools and

librarys. This is not only be positive learning experience for kids, but will

hopefully instill a sence of pride in the local community by creating a lasting

message to future generations.

Murals are an inexpensive way to make a monumental artwork. I’ve created

public art in New England and across the country with large budgets and

extreme weather and surface conditions. My skills as a graphic designer can

be an asset for fundraising, the promomtion of the event and documentation

of the mural process.

Thank you for your consideration.
