Collected Moments

R. Alexander presented Collected Moments, the upcoming group exhibition featuring landscape paintings. On view will be works by artists including Mario Jung, Ana Moran, Marco Di Nieri, and Brad Robertson, all of whom invite viewers into their natural surroundings. The show will be on display at R. Alexander from September 16- October 5, 2019. 

Mario Jung presents a wide array of colorful landscapes with his signature use of thickly textured impasto paint. His meticulously developed style showcases his artistic expertise, ranging from playful sunflower fields in Italy, to lavishly painted poppies, or the deserts of the American southwest. 

Spanish artist Ana Moran explores the connection between nature and the unseen. Her abstract paintings layer color, form, and light to offer a deeper metaphor for life: that what is on the surface is not all there is to be seen. Each canvas is a vast pool of experience- the surface glistens and raditates, but the discernable depths draw in the viewer to simultaneously enchant and mystify.

In contrast to the textured depictions of landscapes, painter Brad Robertson presents abstracted representations of the emotions elicited by experiencing nature. His energetic landscapes are intensified by his use of both a brush and palette knife to create layers of textured florals and landscapes. Instead of presenting viewers with what he is viewing ourside, he presents us with impassioned interpretations of how it feels to physically be in these environments. 

Whether depicted realistically of abstractly, these artists invite viewers into their natural settings to experience the collected moments of their unique landscapes.
