Alex Brown Bio
About The Artist
Alex Brown's paintings blend photorealism with optical art. Often working from unexceptional found photographs, postcards, brochures, and magazines, Brown distorts images of landscapes and people with patterns, gridded fields, and strange shapes. By superimposing images and playing with light and shadow, he creates mesmerizing illusions that are both abstract and figurative.
Brown says of his paintings, "It's fun to look at these worlds within worlds. It offers a nice balance to the ones that are done with rigid, geometric grids and vice versa."
