John Alexander New Paintings and Drawings | ||
|
Artist Reception: Friday, April 18, 2008, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Exhibition runs through May 31, 2008 McClain Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new drawings, landscapes, and figurative oil paintings by artist John Alexander. Born and raised in Beaumont, both Alexander and his work have deep ties to Southeast Texas. His compositions range from a vivid cast of characters set amid swampy, moonlit landscapes to naturalistic-inspired sketches of coastal birds, to portraits laden with political and social satire. Alexander has described his art as “highly personal and very much about what my experiences in the world have been, not in an illustrative way, but in a real emotional way that is universal.” John Alexander is included in many notable museum collections including: The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; Smithsonian American Art Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Dallas Museum of Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art.
John Alexander: A Retrospective From December 21, 2007, to March 16, 2008, The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., hosted the exhibition, “John Alexander: A Retrospective,” spanning the artist’s three-decade career. “John Alexander: A Retrospective,” opens at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, on April 13, 2008, and will be on view through June 22, 2008.
