About the Item

Alexander Ross Color Clay Forms, 2022 Color pencil, graphite 6 5/8 x 10 7/8 inches 16.8 x 27.6 cm Signed, 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.
