“Medusa Red”
ALEXANDER PAIGE – 2001 Painting on Canvas “Medusa Red”
This early portrait painting by Alexander Paige was produced with an India Ink watercolor dripped out of a vile & flat acrylic red on paper. This particular painting captures the darkness & deceit of intention in the subject in the image as woman holds her cold gaze rooted in materialism, personal enrichment & deceptive advancement. Alexander Paige tells the story of “your lover can be your worst enemy” & the concept of “deception” & capitalistic sexual intention in the painterly portrait painting.
