Alex Cutler. Abundance & Absurdity

About

Alex Cutler's paintings, drawings, and poetry offer a unique perspective on the abundance of the world around us. Through the eyes of a constant observer, his work plays into the richness and absurdity of the visual world. Cutler's compositions are blooming with an array of images, objects, and typography, delivered in a multitude of styles. He draws inspiration from the ubiquitous and the sentimental, the past and the present, the tragic and the comedic, seeking harmony in the wrangling in of these concepts, colors and forms. This exhibition is a testament to the “anything-goes” attitude I have cultivated in my studio practice. A world where freedom and exploration is rewarded; where the mundane and the gilded have an equal voice in the conversation. 

Accompanied by his paintings and drawings, this exhibition offers a new layer of depth into the artist's creative process through his private writings. Cutler's poetry is glimpse into the seriously playful mind of the artist who can’t look away.
