Self-Taught Artist | Graphite, Charcoal & Acrylic | Classical Realism Reimagined

Alan Goggin is a self-taught artist whose powerful monochrome portraits and studies reflect a deep mastery of graphite, charcoal, and acrylic. Working primarily in black and white, his art explores light, form, and human expression with striking technical precision and emotional intensity.

Rooted in classical realism, Alan’s work evokes both timeless themes and contemporary grit—bringing ancient figures, textured skin, and quiet moments into dramatic focus. His subjects range from hyper-detailed faces to muscular forms and draped fabrics, all rendered with bold contrast and painterly control.

Alan’s growing collection has drawn attention for its craftsmanship, atmosphere, and reverence for the human figure. His work stands as a testament to skill developed outside formal training—driven by discipline, instinct, and an artist’s eye for truth in shadow and detail.
