About the Item

Alexander Ross Untitled, 2021 Oil on canvas 47 x 60 inches 119.4 x 152.4 cm Signed and dated (verso) -- Best known for his mysterious biomorphic paintings, Alexander Ross’ paintings suggest surreal landscapes, molecular ecosystems, topographical maps, and extraterrestrial lifeforms. His characteristic and masterful handling of paint is nearly photorealistic, with incremental bands of shading that develop into dimensional shapes, blurring the line between sculpture and painting. Ross’ palette largely consists of multiple shades of green with flashes of red, yellow, blue and pink that emerge within the abstract forms. Philomena Epps writes, “He sportively encourages us to undergo an experience of spectatorial confusion; the closer and longer you might focus on an image, the less you might understand it. Like the rotations of a kaleidoscope, the patterns continually mutate, seducing us with their boundless perplexity.” Alexander Ross (b. 1960 in Denver, CO) lives and works in Great Barrington, MA. Recent solo exhibitions include Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY; Fiendish Plots, Lincoln, NE; LABspace, Hillsdale, NY; David Nolan Gallery, New York, NY; Galerie Hussenot, Paris, France; Nolan Judin, Berlin, Germany; New York Foundation for the Arts, New York, NY; among others. Group exhibitions at numerous international institutions include the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, New York, NY; Institute of Contemporary Art,Valencia, Spain; Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, Mexico; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, among others. His work may be found in the collections of theThe British Museum, London, United Kingdom; Denver Art Museum, Denver, CO; Morgan Library & Museum, New York, NY; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Saint Louis, MO; among others.

Connected Conversations 2
By Farida Hughes

Artist Commentary: Scientists like my work. They often make comments about looking at specimens in a petri dish, or at rocks or natural materials under a microscope. The two "Connected Conversations" panels (numbers 1 and 2) are painted in mixed media on alupanel, and aluminum sheet material. They are braced on the back for hanging and support and look like they are floating on the wall. Keywords: color, abstract, movement, motion, circles, yellow, bubbles, maroon, wine Details about the piece: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - Artist now lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland, USA - Professional grade oil paints and ArtResin on Dibond panel - Other materials include professional grade watercolor and oil pastel - Dibond panel with aluminum framing on back and wood supports and 1" wood cradle - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Certificate of authenticity and care sheet included with original Artist Biography: Farida Hughes’ lively and intriguing abstract paintings take their inspiration from the gathering and dispersing of crowds, group relationships, and shared histories and stories of people.
