If you can only go to one show this year - - check out Steve Alexander at David Findlay. You've already seen Van Gogh.

I went to Steve Alexander's fine show at the David Findlay Jr Gallery.  This was a great show, really, of very fine paintings.

Here's what you have to like.  The color and light, the vibrations coming off the paintings is fine tuned, and tuned to perfection.  The technique amazes,  never being fussy.  Not a fussy moment in the paintings, which is remarkable given the highly perfected surfaces, created, I think, with screens of squee-geed paint, vales of light and color.  Straight edges which are straight, clean lines between color fields, balanced with painterly edges, a rough-hewn bi-product of the modern production technique.

A great show.




My stolen photos do not do the paintings justice with hot-spots coming from the overhead spots.

Go see the real thing.
