About the Artist
Craig Alan is an American contemporary artist celebrated for his instantly recognizable “Populus” series—large-scale portraits and compositions built from hundreds (and often thousands) of hand-painted miniature figures. From a distance, these tiny characters resolve into iconic faces and symbols; up close, each figure becomes its own story, creating a layered experience that rewards a second look.
Working primarily in acrylic, Alan blends pop culture references with social observation, exploring themes of identity, community, and the modern world’s shared attention. His distinctive approach plays with perception—moving viewers between the individual and the collective—while delivering bold, graphic impact.
Alan’s work is widely collected and exhibited internationally, known for its meticulous detail, strong visual presence, and the unique sense of movement and life created by his miniature crowds.
