On Sunday During The Summer Painting

Kory Alexander’s paintings are an extension of his natural curiosity. His work is suggestive rather than assertive, more evocative than exclamatory. He portrays scenarios that are rich with enigmatic ambiguity, and often depict a queer narrative. The artist's paintings portray dream-like worlds that set open-ended, memory-like questions into motion. His pictorial iconography persuasively recruits the viewer’s ability, or desire, to complete the narrative. He formulates his landscapes with minimalistic color fields animated by romantic, expressive brushwork that is both refreshing and crucial to grounding Alexander's work in the field of contemporary realism. Alexander received his bachelor’s degree in the Arts & Technology Program from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2014. He lives and works in Los Angeles, California, and is currently represented by Wallspace Gallery in L.A. and Skidmore Contemporary Art in Palm Desert, CA.
