Alex Young Solo Draws Near
Sunday March 28, 2010 |
 A.K.A, a solo show with Alex Young opens to the world this Thursday, April 1st. We're loving his ability to create realistic portraiture while utilizing the loose methodology of dripping paint. Exploring a variety of media and form, whilst drawing from a rich reservoir of influences that ranges from classical to contemporary art disciplines, Young is an interesting new artist on the scene.
His fluid and finely detailed pointillist style portraits - reminiscent of the photorealist master Chuck Close - are meticulously rendered in spray paint and then lavished with fine illustration detail and multi-layered symbolism to elicit a multitude of narrative strands.
In contrast, Young’s heavily stylized illustrations are driven by a discernibly pop surrealist manifesto: that is to create something purely based on aesthetic, or as Young would put it, that’s simply “Rad for rad’s sake.”
