The Life Of Alexander Koleszar

By Krystal Branch


Alexander Koleszar is one of the most famous modern artists in the whole United States of America as his works have a unique and surrealistic style to them that may capture the eyes of the audience. His art style is definitely very different from other artists because he combines elements of abstract art, realism, and surrealism. This is actually what made him quite famous in the world of painting.

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.

At the age of twenty two, he could not take the ridicule and drama about being a homosexual anymore which is why he decided to leave. He moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he cleared his head and became more open about being a gay man. It is also here that he went to the University of Arizona and took up a degree in arts which was followed by another one 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.

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.

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.

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.
