Alan Brassington

Alan Brassington is an internationally acclaimed artist, probably best known for his life-size paintings of horses. Born in Zimbabwe in 1959, he moved back to Ireland with his family in 1964. He studied at the Northwich School of Art, Cheshire and then at Stockport School of Art.

Alan's passion is painting in oil and he has always been fascinated by the power and beauty of horses and this is reflected in many of his paintings. The drama and variety of the racecourse has always attracted him: 'I love painting horses and people. The racetrack is irresistible, it is an entire world of its own. If you see a special horse in the parade ring it is easy to understand why one would be so inspired by this animal with its grace, its beauty, its intelligence and its strength.'.

Alan has been the artist-in-residence to Royal Ascot Racing Club since 1997. His work can be found in the collections of Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Devonshire, Ralph Lauren and many more.
