Alex Roulette - USA
Alex Roulette is an American artist based in New York.
Through painting, I depict fictional and occasionally fantastic scenes that explore the blurred sense of time and place within memories.
The dreamlike landscapes incorporate familiar elements of suburban life that both stylistically and symbolically represent a quasi-nostalgic ordinariness.
The isolation and dislocation of cars, houses, and figures, and the exploration of subtle spatial relationships, recall the hazy state of dreams in which certain details fall into place while others fade away into the unconscious.
