By Krystal Branch


In the world of modern art, the name of Alexander Koleszar will definitely pop up because he is one of the most well known modern artists in the United States of America. He is known for his modern works that are quite different when it comes to the eyes of viewers. If one would want to know more about this person, here is a little bit of information about him.

Just for some background information, muster Koleszar grew up in Michigan which was just outside of Detroit. The place where he grew up in was a very patriarchal one which meant that any form of sexual vagueness was frowned upon. When he was younger, he was actually confused about his sexuality as he was a homosexual.

Now as a child, he was an introvert but he was also a very skilled artist wherein he made amazing paintings. In fact, when he reached fourteen, he had already made around thirty paintings and had some of them exhibited. Three of his paintings were actually put up in the city hall of the town that he stayed in.

Because of all the drama and tears that were present in his hometown, he decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona and start a new life. Of course he cleared his head while he was here and decided to come out from the closet. With his fresh new perspective on life, he decided to take a degree in arts and then took another degree in geosciences.

What really made him famous were his four sets of paintings that made it rather big in the world of art. Now his set which was named Portrait was actually a bunch of paintings mostly depicting people. He was able to paint them so well that they actually looked quite real but if one would look closely, he would see that they are not.

His set Addiction and Recovery was definitely a very popular set because it is the one wherein he poured out a lot of his emotion. He went through a very tough time in his life wherein he fell into depression. This set made use of a surrealistic style that portrayed all the emotions that he had felt when he was in that state.

Life on Lifes Terms which was another set concentrated more on abstract paintings as he wanted to branch out his style. Even if one could see his surrealistic style even in the abstract paintings, it still looked really unique and beautiful. Of course other paintings in this set showcased still life in a surrealistic style like flowers and such.

Just My Opinion was one of the most touching sets of mister Alexander Koleszar as it concentrated on scenery sometimes with people in it. It was definitely a very different one as it showed pictures of men who were naked doing all kinds of actions. As the title implies, these paintings were depictions of his own opinions about life and the controlling attitude of society when it comes to the thought pattern of people that were shown through realistic and surrealistic paintings.
