“Still Life Bottles Aqua & Red”
ALEXANDER PAIGE – 2020 La Jolla Studio “Still Life Bottles Aqua & Red”
This abstract mixed media painting of mirrored bottles & glassware standing on a table is a loose painterly mix media rendition of a traditional still life. The artist chooses his own loose emotional expressionist version of a vase as the birds were chirping with the sunrise in La Jolla California on La Jolla Blvd. This particular painting came as an outlet and was a breakthrough as the artist decided to break all the mirrors in his home & put them in the paintings. Summer 2020 La Jolla studio was extreme to say the least, however paintings like “Still Life Bottles Aqua & Red” is one of about one hundred paintings produced in about a four-month period. “Still Life Bottles Aqua & Red” is one of the first paintings by Alexander Paige which contains and features fragmented mirrors. This painting is expecially heavy & is in the posession of the artist in Southern California.
