Love the work from Rahul Alexander. I really like that you can look at these images and see all sorts of shapes and stories. Great use of colors as well.

Artist Statement
I collect and document, selectively picking out images from a variety of media such as taken photographs, found patterns, magazine clippings, rubbings, and newspapers.

I’m interested in the beauty realized in the reconstitution of images and the personal document that results.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I was in Atlanta all last week.

I am sure most of have seen the work of Josh Keyes. I really like the “Slice” of life or situation. More pics after the jump.

“I often think of the paintings as small stage sets that I use to play out and express thoughts, feelings, and ideas, through objects and their relationship to one another. The scientific format I use in my work screams “rationality” and “precision.” It suggests and stands for the intellect or empirical knowledge, which is concerned with the absolute model of things in the world. I use this dry form of illustration to contrast the personal and emotional response I have to current events and issues. The polarity between the hard, factual, realism, and emotional expression creates tension. The intersection between things known and things felt is what interests me. The scientific, dissection and cross section model expresses a certain hidden or underlying beauty of how all things are interrelated. A cross section can expose the root structure of a tree, or express geological time through the different layers and strata of the earth and soil.”
