About the Artist

Alex Spalding is a daring intuitive and a true artist. The risks he takes in his paintings are accompanied by his interest in the subject of sacred feminine art, his devotion to prosoponic portraiture, and a visual language drawn from his exchanges with graphic and commercial design. His paintings are an emotional iconography: in the same way that a religious icon, whose miraculous symbolic truth is in fact a harnessing of elements such as line, shape, texture, and form, the hierogamic content of his paintings find an elegant mirror in his balance of exuberant, expressive strokes of paint, and an economy of textured space. For Spalding, a successful painting communicates immediately and elicits strong feelings in the viewer, leaving something behind. This is master painter Alex Spalding's discipline: images which are bold, expressive, yet restrained.
