Allan Raaff

After a long career as an art director and creative director, and founding partner of The Red & Yellow School of advertising, Allan has finally been able to find the time to do what he always wanted to do which is painting. “Old bikes have a soul of their own. They are unique, and reflect the character of their owners and the long service that they have given. When travelling around, I am always on the lookout for a particularly interesting specimen.” He has discovered the Zorn palette, after the Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860 - 1920) using only four colours being yellow ochre, ivory black, vermilion and titanium white, giving a pleasing muted result from its discipline.
