The Nude in the 21st Century |
---|
Alexandra Bloch Alexandra Bloch uses a clean and sparing style of painting to make realistic and natural images. Deftly and judiciously applying oil paints to canvas and pencil to paper, she creates the illusion of nature's space, light and form on a two-dimensional surface; an effect she has been perfecting throughout her artistic life. Ms. Bloch's primary inspiration is the human figure. Its curves, gestures, colors, and expressions offer an infinite array of stunning subject matter. She also finds inspiration in the stark contrasts of light and dark, and tones found in nature. A lifetime of study and travel has allowed Ms. Bloch to see some of the finest art and spectacular natural vistas in the world informing her vision and perspective. When painting, she uses both the brush and palette knife to create a variety of realistic impressions. Mindful of life's chaos, Ms. Bloch makes clean and simple imagery offering the viewer a retreat for the eye and spirit. | |
