Nostalgia-fuelled paintings by Alex Roulette
Born in Columbus, Ohio and now living and working in NYC, Alex Roulette is a painter of quiet moments. By researching, observing, questioning and ultimately drawing conclusions, he paints landscapes that explore the semi-nostalgic setting of the suburbs. His hazy atmospheres allow for self reflection on times when things were less complicated. He depicts teenage hikes, silent meetings, stormy nights, etc.. His work shows meticulous details while his technique reminds us of the Old Master paintings from the 16th and 17th century. His skill and talent for crafting narratives make up for the possible lack in innovation in technique.
