Alan William Lines is a self-taught, up-and-coming artist who has been creating art since 2014. He is known for digital art with a "unique, refreshing, and vibrant" style, often featuring geometric and abstract designs. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, he also shares his work and inspirations on social media.
Artistic style and themes
Geometric and abstract: Lines often uses geometric shapes, low-poly graphics, and bold colors to deconstruct and reimagine natural and urban scenes. An example is his "Blue Ridge Mountain Bird," where he used interlocking triangles to capture the "essence of flight" rather than a realistic depiction.
Symbolism and emotion: His art frequently incorporates themes of hope, transformation, and memory.
One piece, titled "Red Butterfly in the Black and White City," features a red butterfly flying near the Brooklyn Bridge, symbolizing hope and rebirth during difficult times.
His work "Together Apart" uses separated geometric shapes to represent the connection between loved ones who are physically distant.
Color and light: Lines emphasizes the use of color and the interplay of light and shadow to create mood and visual depth in his work. In "The Illusion of Boundaries," he breaks up bright colors into smaller pieces to create a multi-layered effect.
Personal and spiritual inspiration: Lines draws inspiration from his personal experiences and spiritual reflections. A digital artwork featuring a woman dancing to the song "Jerusalema" was inspired by his African roots and was intended to be an uplifting piece of joy and hope.
