McAllister is an American painter whose work draws on the traditions of Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. His paintings are characterised by a bold use of colour, intricate patterning and a lush, almost tropical sensibility. Working across landscapes, still lifes and interiors, he builds immersive compositions that explore the interaction of light and colour.
