The Art of Alex Gross
Surrealist artist Alex Gross features striking, dreamlike imagery that transcends category. Gross paints a haunting melange of fairytale, allegory, history, and pop culture, fusing eastern and western aesthetics in an ethereal world populated by kimono-clad Japanese women and lost Victorian dandies. In more than eighty exquisite color images, comprising all of Gross’s gallery work, silk screens, etchings, and sketches, this volume illuminates his singular blend of realism and whimsy. Embraced and collected by art connoisseurs and lowbrow fans alike, Gross’s work is both enigmatic and irresistible.

Gosto muito de pintura surrealista. A mostra é notavel, mas o preferido é o quadro dos “noivos” . Lamento não ter conhecimentos de simbologia para o poder analisar. Mas está lá tudo : o toucado, o chão , a mala, as borboletas, a caveira, a janela ….. a própria cara do noivo é simbólica.
GOSTEI.

Eu também, M.A. Faz-me lembrar a pintura de Frida Khalo os síbolos de dor e morte que há em toda a sua pintura.
