Alistair Woods is an artist based in Manchester exploring painting andsculpture. His work embodies aspects of underground subcultures, football fan culture and left wing politics, creating imagery that’s intertwined with art historical references. The work uses both traditional and non-traditional materials to combine these low and high culture reference points, giving them equal importance and cultural value. This isn’t with the interest of devaluing what has come before, but to elevate the validity of the unofficial.
