STEVE ALEXANDER lives and works in Boston, Ma and makes his mosaic paintings from works of art that have been rescued from junk heaps and other places where they have been discarded or forgotten. He follows a tradition of landscape where a place is visited and memorized and then created again later in the studio from the artist's chosen materials. Alexander also looks at classical images from art history and offers a similar treatment. His reclaimed sources are cut into mosaic 'tiles' and arranged into a palette of
colors, textures and tones and then reapplied into new images that are densely layered with intricate spaces, lively colors and unique shapes. He is always a storyteller and includes references from the personal to historic and universal themes of love, conflict, rescue, peace and friendship.
