Alex Roulette. Smoke Bomb, 2012. Oil on panel, 33 x 44”.
Alex Roulette is an American artist who creates vast, dreamlike paintings of suburbia – imbued with a nostalgia for the ordinary. (by Wanderling)

My current series of paintings depict fabricated American landscapes. The invented landscapes arise from archetypal citations of past and present cultural influences. Placing figures into these landscapes is an attempt to take advantage of the viewer’s natural ability to extrapolate narratives. By creating the paintings using a conjuncture of various photographic references, I continue to explore the distinctions between photographic and painted space. The disjointed nature of the source images, contrasting with the way they are realistically unified, take on a contingent sense of reality.

i’m surprised how often religion comes up in conversations between me and my parents. perhaps mainly because we’re not religious people. as outsiders, as if peering through a glass display, we always had a curiosity about why things are sacred and about the persistence of ritual and tradition.
“but there’s also the fascination associated with the sacred, even when it’s someone else’s.”

i don’t quite understand the graph on the bottom left though. — i’m surprised how often religion comes up in conversations between me and my parents. perhaps mainly because we’re not religious people. as outsiders, as if peering through a glass display, we always had a curiosity about why things are sacred and about the persistence of ritual and tradition.

the premier’s stepped down,

mayor’s about to be kicked out of office,

school teachers have gone on strike (albeit politely, only one day at a time per board, and with three days advanced notice)

the world here will go on just as usual.
