Alan Chitty is an artist who offers an exciting body of work that gives an insight into human distortion. His peices have contemporary values aesthetically, but holding connotations of horrific memories of past atrocities of war.

This function is not to shock, it is merely the production and the process of making work that looks disturbing. The disturbing work, he feels, comments on today’s harsh reality and the ideology of being noticed. The disturbance in the work is often related to him as a person, but only relates to expression of important modern day issues.
Issues such as war, cosmetic surgery, evolution, and modification form Identities within the objects/sculptures he makes. All these issues are fused together to create a sinister tableau in which you could only muster up in science fictional nightmares.
