Alex Katsenelinboigen: Homeless man with dog

Alex Katsenelinboigen: Homeless man with dog

SKU: 2021-00018.

I wanted to portray a moment of relative calm in an otherwise punishing existence.

My interest in art arose during my last year at college where I studied mathematics and economics. I took a course in art history and was fascinated by various 20ieth century ‘isms’, particularly the ones that emphasized the conceptual aspects of art. Eventually, I gravitated toward the more formal and “visual” movements, such as post-impressionist and expressionist art, which employed innovative pictorial devices.

As source and inspiration for my work, I seek images that conjure up ambiguity and distortion. This dissonance often provides the impetus for the work. I work primarily from sketches and photographs, often using a computer to mutate the image in order to test the various possibilities. As the work progresses, I try to move away from the ‘naturalistic’ depiction to a pictorial idea that emphasizes expressiveness and complex interaction of pictorial elements. My working process is largely governed by trial and error until I arrive at a satisfactory result.
