'Everyday Beauty' by Alexandra Bloch
Alexandra Bloch is a representational artist who grew up in New York and discovered her talent and passion for painting, drawing, and design while still a child. After a liberal arts education that included art, art history, and foreign travel, she refined her studio techniques and learned from established artists at a variety of places including the Art Students League of New York, the School of Visual Arts, and Wesleyan University. She currently resides in Raleigh, NC.
Alexandra uses a clean and sparing style to create realistic and naturalistic images of forms existing in everyday life. Patiently applying oil paint to canvas and pencil to paper, she creates the illusion of nature’s space, light, and form on a two-dimensional surface.
She is inspired by the stark contrasts of light and dark, and tones found in nature and still life arrangements. A lifetime of study and travel has allowed Alexandra to see some of the finest art and spectacular natural vistas in the world informing her vision and perspective.
Mindful of life’s chaos, Alexandra makes fresh and simple imagery offering the viewer a retreat for the eye and spirit. Often Alexandra’s still lifes are contemplative glimpses of a simple scene rather than a wide view of a jumbled world.
