Timeline
Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki curator Ron Brownson called Allen's 2.5-metre high pan-cultural Christ one of the most significant wood carvings produced in New Zealand during that period. This mahogany statue of Christ was stolen from the chapel in 1999 or 2000, and recovered in 2012. It was returned to the chapel in 2013 after a restoration process. The Stations underwent conservation work in 2021.
After the Futuna Chapel, Allen's work moved further away from traditional approaches and concepts. One piece, made in 1965, was a 7 meter-long work commissioned for the offices of chemical company ICI. It involved, according to Allen, ‘‘a sculptured concrete panel inspired by the micro-structure of naturally occurring copper crystals’’. The office building was badly damaged in the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, but the mural survived the earthquake and the process of demolishing the building.
Allen collaborated with architect John Scott on the creation of Futuna Chapel in Wellington, which opened in 1961. Allen designed the chapel’s coloured perspex windows, its 14 Stations of the Cross, and the wooden crucifix wall-mounted above the altar. He also designed the "light modulators", made of rimu, glass and yellow perspex, which are installed above the entranceway to reduce afternoon sunlight entering the chapel.
As the 1960s continues, Allen increasingly focused on performative and non-object art.
Allen taught at Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland from 1960 until 1976.
After the end of the war, Allen studied at Perugia University and at the Instituto d' Arte Florence in Italy in 1945. In 1948 he received a Diploma of Fine Arts from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.
Allen was born in Wellington, New Zealand. From 1940 to 1945, Allen served with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in North Africa and Italy as a truck driver, motorcycle rider, and machine gunner.
