Alex Dewars: Figure Painter

Just, Not quite sure yet...

2012-01-16T14:40:00.000-08:00

New work "completed" tonight. Not quite sure of it yet. Its lacking in detail, somewhat intentionally as well as I try and loosen up my style. I think some of the contrast maybe too high too given it more of an "illustration" feel to it.

Anyway, very please with composition. Also, its been photographed under artificial light, so not at its best.

Royal Scottish Academy

2009-04-20T04:32:00.001-07:00

I am proud to post that I had a painting accepted into the Royal Scottish Academy (The Mound, Edinburgh) Spring Exhibition. The RSA is Scotlands most prestigious Artistic body and wall space is reserved for RSA members, with any free space offered to the best submitted non members. I submitted a piece thatis slightly differnt from the usual.
"Thermostat" harks back at the early male figure work I created post graduation, the violent abstraction helps emphasize the theme of confusion of male identity.
The show opens April 18th and closes 20th May.
