A Little Bit About Alexander Koleszar

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.

He grew up in Michigan somewhere in Detroit. He had quite a sad childhood because he was a young boy struggling with his sexuality. Because he was not sure about whether he was a homosexual or not, he was often ridiculed and teased by his contemporaries because he grew up in a rather patriarchal society.

Even though he had quite a sad childhood, he used that set of strong emotions to pursue his career in painting. At the age of fourteen, he was able to make around thirteen artworks wherein some were actually showcased in his school. Three of them were even hung up in the city hall as they were amazingly attractive.

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.

Now he was well known for four sets of paintings that he made which became quite known in the art world. One of that was the Portrait set which was a set of self portraits of different people. What makes this set very attractive is that it is painted in such a way that the people in it look very real yet not.

Another set which was named Addiction and Recovery was one of the sets created when he was going through depression in his life. This set concentrated on surrealism and showed all kinds of images that depicted things that were evidently not of this world. His imagination in this set is what made it quite known.

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.

The last set of Alexander Koleszar, which was named, Just My Opinion, concentrated on the painting of scenery. What makes this different from the other sets is that majority of the paintings here depicted naked men in them along with the scenery. This is where he was expressing his own opinion about life itself and how the society tries to control the people that are living in it telling them how they should act and such.
