“Lost in a Dream”
ALEXANDER PAIGE – 2022 Color Ink & Pastel Drawing “Lost in a Dream”
This traditional drawing depicted in movement of a woman with her leg in the air symbolizes the artists former lover Lisa Danielle and how she shrugs off any concept of consequence and feels entitled to everything life has to offer. As she has said, “I can get any man I want” this image is an expression of both simplicity and the personal celebration of freedom of life and joy. The simplicity of shape of the female form 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.
