Leaving The Slippery Surface
David Alexander’s signature waterscapes and landscapes are done in a style that pushes reality to abstraction.He relies on a bold palette and gestural, seemingly wild paint application, creating paintings that are evocative of place but most often driven by emotion and color rather than depicting a recognizable landscape. The surface of water becomes an abstract field of colors, reflections and shapes mingling, allowing the eye to take in the attributes of the physical surface of his canvases.
