Offered by: Spanierman Modern, LLC

Description
Steven Alexander is a builder of color-fields in which the viewer is the beneficiary of a quiet space to contemplate the relationship between them and the object before them. Extending the legacy of artists like Mondrian, Morandi, and Rothko who approached painting as an existential investigation, his paintings present uncomplicated color situations that mirror the viewer, and allude to rhythms, tensions and dualities of the body and the psyche. It is color that is the soul of this enterprise and through the richness and range of his palette, he recapitulates the history of art in a schematic, color-coded abstract distillation. These are not analytical paintings based on a pre-conceived system, but intuitively made as one color calls up another and is measured against another, balanced and counterweighted.
