About the Item
Alex Roulette’s paintings depict false realities. The artist constructs landscapes from numerous source photographs, which he uses as references to create his finely-tuned oil paintings. The combination of such disparate elements - seamlessly combined - result in uncanny scenes. States the artist, “The disjointed nature of the source images, contrasting with the way they are realistically unified, take on a contingent sense of reality.”
Roulette’s paintings are a tribute to contemporary American culture both in his youthful subjects and his reference to the proliferation of images we are constantly confronted with. Roulette explain, “The current expanding abundance of accessible images is allowing the imagination to expand the ability to visualize unseen places.”
Roulette was born in Columbus, Ohio and now currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. He received a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in painting with a minor in graphic design. His work has been featured on the cover of New American Paintings (2009) and in more than fifteen exhibitions throughout New York City, Santa Fe, Washington DC, Baltimore, Columbus, and Cincinnati.

- Mary in the GardenBy Carl BretzkeLocated in Sag Harbor, NYAn oil painting of a rural property on a sunny day in the United States.

The bed of a pickup truck catches light in the distance, parked beside the residential structure. A farmhouse with a metal roof, and a wide-hooded porch, stands tall, offering shade and comfort, especially with cushioned armchars to sit on out-front. A few electrical poles reach up towards the sky, confirming the contemporary time frame. In the foreground, a garden is fenced in with wire and wood. A statuette of the Virgin Mary is placed within this fenced garden, absorbing sunlight alongside the plants. An apt depiction of contemporary Americana...Category
