246 Editions is thrilled to announce our third edition.
Trans, by Steven Alexander. Steven's work is interested in the interaction between the painting and the viewer's imagination and experience; effectively in the painting's catalytic potency and it's potential to generate unspecified mobile meaning.William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin referred to this as the third mind - the conscious created between an artwork and the viewer viewing it.
Steven is trying to build, out of color and substance, a place for the viewer's consciousness - where unexpected associations and resonances may occur, where past and future merge with the present moment, and the stuff of life, love and desire has corporeal presence - states of being, embodied in paint.
Steven Alexander been exhibited and collected extensively throughout the US, and in Europe and Canada. His awards include a studio residency at P.S.1 in Long Island City, and an F. Lammot Belin Foundation grant for painting, as well as numerous commissions including the lobby of the Hines Building in New York City.
