A Little Bit About Alexander Koleszar

By Krystal Branch


In the world of modern art, the name of Alexander Koleszar will definitely pop up because he is one of the most well known modern artists in the United States of America. He is known for his modern works that are quite different when it comes to the eyes of viewers. If one would want to know more about this person, here is a little bit of information about him.

Just for some background information, muster Koleszar grew up in Michigan which was just outside of Detroit. The place where he grew up in was a very patriarchal one which meant that any form of sexual vagueness was frowned upon. When he was younger, he was actually confused about his sexuality as he was a homosexual.

Now as a child, he was an introvert but he was also a very skilled artist wherein he made amazing paintings. In fact, when he reached fourteen, he had already made around thirty paintings and had some of them exhibited. Three of his paintings were actually put up in the city hall of the town that he stayed in.

At the age of twenty two, he could not take the ridicule and drama about being a homosexual anymore which is why he decided to leave. He moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he cleared his head and became more open about being a gay man. It is also here that he went to the University of Arizona and took up a degree in arts which was followed by another one in geosciences.

Now for him to become famous, he created four sets of paintings that became really popular in the field of art. One of his first sets which was the set that showcased only portraits of people. If one would look at these portraits from afar, he would think that these paintings are photographs but if he looked closer, he would see that they are not.

Addiction and Recovery was one of his best sets because he really showcased his skill when painting surreal pictures. Many pictures there came from the deepest and darkest depths of his mind which is why many of the things there do not look earthly. It is also the reason why so many people love this set.

Of course there is his other set which is known as Life on Lifes Terms which concentrated more on abstract painting. Of course there were also other types of paintings in there like surreal paintings and other portraits but it mainly consisted of abstract art. Of course his style of a combination of realism and animation could actually be seen here.

Just My Opinion was one of the most touching sets of mister Alexander Koleszar as it concentrated on scenery sometimes with people in it. It was definitely a very different one as it showed pictures of men who were naked doing all kinds of actions. As the title implies, these paintings were depictions of his own opinions about life and the controlling attitude of society when it comes to the thought pattern of people that were shown through realistic and surrealistic paintings.
