The Dark Places

October 5, 2016By AlecPainting No Comments

As October begins and Halloween approaches, thoughts turn to everything dark and creepy. I always forget about this painting from 2011 that was to start a series of interiors based on famous locales from horror films. This is the entryway from the main house in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Unfortunately this was the only one … Read More

Focus

September 30, 2016By AlecNew Work, Painting No Comments

Along with streamlining this website I’m feeling a necessary consolidation of my artistic practice. How can I shift my process to produce a result that has a more focused purpose? Something beyond following this crazy narrative, leaving behind a trail of odd sized canvases soaked with effort and wonder. To have self contained objects of … Read More

    I was excited to be invited to Houston Berry’s curatorial debut “Expressions of Speed” at Wonderland SF this summer.

Sneak Peak

September 29, 2016By AlecNew Work No Comments

  Here’s a detail of a piece just completed and varnished. It’s so satisfying to get back to larger paintings. The background is one I’ve painted before but much smaller. One of my favorite corners in the Tenderloin.   Acrylic on canvas.

New Work for Summer 2016

September 28, 2016By AlecNew Work, Painting No Comments

‘La Casa Cosmica’ was painted for the 6 Year Anniversary show Simply Frida at Wonderland in San Francisco. All works we’re naturally tributes to Frida Kahlo and I wanted combine the look of atomic era “propaganda” art with a space background and morphing Frida’s iconic hair flowers into a bloom of nebulas. Opens July 16th … Read More
