Alexander Ross
Alexander Ross’s paintings and drawings, based on photographs taken of his own plasticine models, are marked by sharply rendered depictions of reptilian green shapes presented against a featureless background. Reminiscent of strange landscapes, topographical maps, or magnified cellular structures, these curious forms suggest both the organic and the man-made.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
