As there are so many artists in the art world, there are also many different genres in which these artists work. One being that of drawings and paintings. One of the most well known from the mid-late 80s, and prior is that of Alexander Koleszar. Alexander began his art career at quite an early age. In fact, he had already created over 30 oil paintings on canvas by age 11.
While the artist has been focused on his painting career since childhood, it was also during childhood in which the hobby caused Alexander a great deal of grief. Children in the neighborhood would often bully and tease him about the tools and tricks used in painting. If this was not difficult enough, many of his real friends then passed during the AIDs epidemic of the early 1980s.
In childhood, the artist experienced a great deal of bullying at the hands of other children. Later, as an adult he lost a number of friends during the AIDs crisis and epidemic of the 1980s. While there are now some vaccines and treatments available, none had yet been developed during the early onset of the syndrome.
The painter, now working quite passionately, created a number of pieces related to the AIDs crisis. This work reflected both the artist life as well as that of friends and colleagues whom the disease took too early in life. Whether dealing with illness, withdrawal from social circles or other matters, the artist always tries to create pieces which invoke an emotional response in viewers.
One reason Alexander decided to wait on becoming actively involved with collectors was because there was another interest. As the artist always had a love for drawing and classical painting, Koleszar spent a few years learning from and studying with two well known artists. One these artists, a classical painter, and the other a well known sketch artist.
The artist is now well known among a number of galleries and collectors in the United States, and Europe. A number of collectors suggest this popularity comes from his combination of surrealism and realism which at times can create a Dali like effect in some works. Others, believe Koleszar's drawings and paintings appear to more closely resemble the early works of Magritte. Two well known artists whom have permanent art installations or limited exhibits in renowned museums around the world.
While Koleszar exhibited art in previous shows, it was not until these most recent ones in which he began selling works to collectors. These collectors from Europe and the United States have become quite interested in the combination of surrealism and realism which the artist uses in a number of pieces. It is interesting that while he had past shows, only in the 1990s did Alexander become known as a "New and Emerging Artist."
With new reviews also comparing the artist's most recent work to that of others who now live in infamy in galleries and museums around the world, it's no wonder so many collectors have become interested. It also helps that the artist studied with masters in these two fields in between shows. Regardless of comparisons to Dali, Magritte, Warhol or others, Alexander's art has remained original in concept and thought throughout the artist's career.
