About the Item

Alexander Ross Fish, 2020 Graphite on paper 11 1/4 x 15 inches 28.6 x 38.1 cm Signed, titled 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.

  • Untitled (Līnea Study), 2022
    Located in Washington, DC
    Original work by Mary Early. Graphite, wax crayon, and sumi ink on Arches paper, 12.25 x 16". "The production, or “pouring,” of beeswax elements has become a meditative process that is integral to my art practice, serving as an observation of time, materials, and space. The raw beeswax I use has taken its form at the end of a long series of natural processes followed by a manufacturing process, and once it is in my hands, the studio becomes a factory. I apply my own methods of transforming the material by casting the beeswax into three-dimensional forms. Once I have fixed both a place and a time in the future for a potential installation, I begin to determine how the beeswax lines will take their aggregated shape in that space and, simultaneously, how many lines might be manufactured for that particular space in the amount of time available." Mary Early (born 1975, Washington, DC) lives and works in Washington, DC. She studied visual art, film, and video at Bennington College, and her work has been exhibited at the United States Botanic Garden, Washington Project for the Arts, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Second Street Gallery (Charlottesville, VA), Hemphill Fine Arts (Washington DC,) the Austrian Cultural Forum (Washington DC), Galerie Im Ersten (Vienna, Austria), Kloster Schloss Salem (Salem, Germany), Kunstlerbund Tubingen (Tubingen, Germany), and the American University Museum (Washington DC) among other regional and national galleries. Her early work incorporated formed concrete, tarpaper and paraffin wax, fabricated wood structures, and, increasingly over the years, surfaces coated with wax as a method of preserving or concealing an object within. Recent works have relied solely on solid forms cast in wax, abandoning the use of any permanent armature. Temporary installations are guided by schematic drawings and plans, which then serve as a permanent record. In 2014 she exhibited her first large-scale installation of wax lines at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA, followed by temporary installations in response to various historical sites in Salem, Germany (2016) and Tubingen Germany (2017). In 2017 she participated in the exhibition “Twist-Layer-Pour” at the American University Museum, which included Untitled [Curve], an installation of thousands of beeswax lines assembled on the floor of the museum. In spring 2018 she was commissioned to create a temporary installation at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Sun Valley Idaho. This work took the form of two intersecting curtains of hanging beeswax lines bisecting a 12’ foot x 18’ foot room, providing an immersive and enclosed viewing space. Early’s work is included in the collections of the US Department of State/Embassy of Panama, Kimpton Hotels, and the District of Columbia Art Bank among other public and private collections. She is a recipient of the Artist Fellowship Grant from the DC Commission on Arts & Humanities, Washington DC (2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2011, 2009, 2007). Early is the director of HEMPHILL Fine Arts, Washington, DC, and serves on the boards of Hamiltonian Artists and Washington Sculptors Group. She handles the work of contemporary artists and artist estates, including the work of William Christenberry, Colby Caldwell, Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi, Linling Lu, Mingering Mike, Robin Rose, Renée Stout...
