By Krystal Branch


When it comes to modern and contemporary art, one name which will surely pop up in the art scene of America which would be none other than Alexander Koleszar. He is a painter known for making paintings of surrealistic images that stem out from the very depths of his imagination. If one is an artist, then he would definitely be interested in the life of this genius.

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.

Even as a child, he already was very talented at art especially painting which was his passion. When he was at the age of fourteen, he was able to create around thirty canvases wherein some were actually exhibited. In fact, there were three of these paintings were showcased in the city hall of the area that he lived in.

When he reached the age of twenty two, he decided to move away from his hometown and into the state of Phoenix, Arizona. There, he discovered his sexuality and eventually came out of the closet which confirmed him to be a homosexual. After he had finished his first art degree, he decided to take up another one in geosciences.

Now for him to become famous, he created four sets of paintings that became really popular in the field of art. One of his first sets which was the set that showcased only portraits of people. If one would look at these portraits from afar, he would think that these paintings are photographs but if he looked closer, he would see that they are not.

Addiction and Recovery was one of his best sets because he really showcased his skill when painting surreal pictures. Many pictures there came from the deepest and darkest depths of his mind which is why many of the things there do not look earthly. It is also the reason why so many people love this set.

Of course there is his other set which is known as Life on Lifes Terms which concentrated more on abstract painting. Of course there were also other types of paintings in there like surreal paintings and other portraits but it mainly consisted of abstract art. Of course his style of a combination of realism and animation could actually be seen here.

One of the most touching sets of mister Alexander Koleszar was none other than the set known as Just My Opinion. In here, he showed his skill in painting scenery and portraits together. This was quite a controversial set because this set depicted a lot of naked men in it which was his opinion about how society would control the people into thinking or acting in a certain manner before he or she could be accepted.
