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
