About the Item
Represented by George Billis Gallery, NYC & LA -- Privacy and personal space are central themes in the works of painter Alex Blas. His most recent series 'Housesitter' is inspired by the artist's real experience with a housesitter who, under the guise of trust, began using Blas’ home in his own self-interest. Toned by deep shadows and bathed in the reflected light of Southern California, the paintings turn the tables like a hidden camera, spying on the housesitter and finding him in moments of indiscretion and gratification. Here the gaze of the subject, his focus, his hands, his pose, are the details that expose his hesitance, and possibly even recognition, that he's breaking the rules. The artist's ability to transpose the perspective to a fly-on-the-wall witness, in such delicate and provocative detail, immortalize the discovery of online photos that inspired the series like uncomfortable, sensual truths frozen in time. - Jake Kale
Alex Blas was born in 1978 in Mexico City and received his degree in 1999 from Santa Ana College.

- Met BalconyBy Danny HellerLocated in Fairfield, CTRepresented by George Billis Gallery, NY & LA -- My latest series opening at the George Billis Gallery, titled “Modern Society,” continues my exploration into midcentury architecture and design found in New York City, but focuses on the cultural centers and glamorous institutions that signaled its strength – and enchantment – in the 1950s and 60s. Covering such bewitching landmarks as Lincoln Center, the Guggenheim, and 5th Avenue stalwart Bergdorf Goodman, this series delves into how high design from this groundbreaking Modern period shaped metropolitan society and reinforced New York as a cultural capital. When viewed individually, each painting showcases an aspect of booming avant garde design, be it the Metropolitan Opera’s Sputnik Chandeliers, the high fashion displayed...Category
