Alan Yarrow

1 year ago

25th – 29th September

10am – 6pm daily

Admission Free

Alan was born in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in 1951 and educated at Tanglin School in Singapore, where he won the Henry Yates Thompson Art Prize—his first brush with creative recognition. In 1969, he moved to Paris to pursue graphic design, drawn by the city’s artistic spirit. Though his career later shifted to finance, leading to senior corporate roles and ultimately service as Lord Mayor of London (2014–15) with a knighthood in 2016, Alan has always carried an artist’s perspective. From Parisian sketches to travels with his wife Gilly—once spanning 28 countries in a single year—his story is marked by creativity, adaptability, and a belief that humour and luck are as vital as hard work.
