s t a t e m e n t
Frankly, I don't think of myself as a regional artist, maybe "north american' or "eARThling".
I'm mostly interested in an abstract vision, in my painting and my photography. Sometimes I do paint an allegorical/iconic abstract, which are like visual journal entries. Although I photograph real people-places-beings also, my personal favorites are abstractions.
I prefer working large format paintings and photo-prints.
If I'm painting big, I use multiple panels for logistical ease.
In photography, I prefer huge vinyl prints with grommets for hanging, and are now available with fine detailed printing. This format requires no frame and is industrial and clean.
ALXSw is a registered tradename established 1995.
I've listed a number of url's providing different images of various themes and series. Here is a sampling. Some are in situ, Remember meeting a live painting is always more exciting than a flat jpg made of zeros and ones. Thanks for visiting my work ... in any form.
