Alan lives in Yass. Visual Art has always been a passion and occupation in one form or another: He trained as a Secondary School Art teacher, studied Art history and Curatorship, and later Graphic Design. As well as teaching, he has run a retail business for over 20 years specialising in Australian craftwork.
This is Alan’s 6th exhibition and second at Tyger Gallery. Although he has always drawn and painted, recently he has been able to devote an increasing amount of time to his own art practice.
Alan paints with oils - still lifes, landscapes, streetscapes and abstracts.
This new group of paintings is called The Passing View.
“My subjects or ‘views’ are rarely deliberately sought out, rather they are chanced upon, often when out walking.”
“The pictures are as much about evoking personal experience as they are about exact visual appearance. I aim to create strong compositions with geometry and colour, capturing aspects that are not usually observed at a conscious level, such as shadows and reflections. I always work from my own photos and drawings.”
Alan Harding, 2025.

“On moving to Yass, I developed an interest in the mixture of styles and heritage of the houses and other buildings. Particularly because I was so accustomed to suburban Canberra.”
“Houses, their garden features and street scenes are for me just like still life’s, requiring similar design and aesthetic concerns as well as potential to convey mood.”
Alan Harding. 2025.
