Alexa De Los Reyes
Roots X, Oil Painting on Canvas, 2016

2016

About the Item

Artist Commentary: While living in Puerto Rico in 2004 I began painting an abstract image of web-like vertical drips. Soon after, I came across one of Old San Juan's amazing banyans--enormous trees with hundreds of ropey roots that hang from their branches to the ground--and it struck me as a likely resemblance. I titled that first painting Roots. Since then, this pattern has caught my eye in many unexpected places and forms, such as streaks of rust on subway station walls, cracks in the sidewalk, light reflected underwater, and images of cerebral neurons. The ubiquity of this pattern in nature intrigues me, and I create these in a meditative state. Keywords: earth tones, abstract, fluid Artist Biography: Alexa rekindled a childhood passion for painting in her twenties and she now paints in fits and bursts while also working as an intuitive energy healer. Alexa has studied various techniques and theories at Massachusetts College of Art and the School of Visual Art in NY. She alternates between abstract and representational work and finds inspiration in subject matter that contains an inherent visual metaphor; an unexpected connection to other objects and ideas. Alexa has shown her work in NY, PA, MA, DC, and Puerto Rico, and she recently moved to Amherst, MA with her husband and two sons.

  • Crazy Golden
    By Petra Rös-Nickel
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Petra Rös-Nickel’s original paintings merge playful forms, bright colors, and architectural compositions in oil and mixed media on canvas. Her contemporary artworks contain rich textures and patterns, referencing popular European textile designs of the fifties and sixties. Rös-Nickel’s work translates the geometric and organic elements of an era that hoisted the flags of modernism and which, due to a trend to return to a rather retro style, has become topical once more. This 63-inch high by 10-inch wide contemporary oil painting is wired and ready to hang. This artwork is double wired and may be installed vertically or horizontally. The sides of this artwork are painted gold and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Petra was born 1963 in Wathlingen near Celle, Germany, and breaks completely new ground with her abstract forms of painting and expression. After studying fashion design at the professional school for clothing in Bremen, 1980, Petra Rös-Nickel changed her field of study to architecture in Eckernförde, 1982. She now lives in Hamburg, Germany. Preferring the creative aspects of the studies to the technical ones, the artist developed the basics of her painting, never denying the roots of applied design and soon ending in a refreshing, distinctive style. Petra Rös-Nickel experiments with form, along with the use of a technique that draws attention to the processes used in creating a painting. Essential is the color space presented in multiple layers that offers the beholder access to more profound color planes. These details, scratchings, and rubbings lead to various elements of tension, such as “patchwork” or harmonious-contemplative forms (“windows”) and “oscillating lines”. Rös-Nickel's modernist paintings develop an energetic impact on the space they‘re displayed in, conveying her joy of life and self-confidence. Her abstract geometric textured artworks have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including Germany, Belgium, USA, Canada, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Notable collectors include Chris Rock...
