Albert Irvin

original hand-signed paintings, lithographs and prints

Albert Irvin was a prolific British artist, best known for his cheerful screenprints, watercolours and paintings. Irvin was born in London and continued to live and work there throughout his life. His art focusses on capturing and exploring the experience of being in the world.

Later the artist began to experiment with his art medium. He changed from oil to acrylic in the early 1970s and briefly dabbled with lithography in 1975.

He then began to experiment with screenprinting in 1980 with Advanced Graphics London. The collaborative approach of screenprinting, although a new and very different outlet from painting, still allowed Irvin to display many of his characteristic traits as an artist. He would quickly affirm his reputation as one of Britain’s foremost printmakers.
