“Self Portrait in Rehab”
ALEXANDER PAIGE – 2022 Color Ink & Pastel Drawing “Self Portrait in Rehab”
This self-portrait in watercolor and colored pencil of the artist Alexander Paige is an expression of both simplicity and the personal celebration of freedom of life and joy. The simplicity of the self-portrait profile is met with the dichotomy and presence of pure color in an explosion of life. The artist celebrates his own voice and produces the image as an outlet to artist’s subconscious as through personal introspection and consistent self-development and awareness. Alexander Paige expresses his own gratitude for living and the ability to experience sunlight, draw with color, have conversation and a general appreciation for life as a whole.
