I hope the art evokes an unexpected, sophisticated, yet primitive mood. There is a beautiful unfolding to creating the work. By grounding in the present moment, there is a collaboration with the entire Universe. There is a call, and a response. Something intuitively knows what is needed next, and then next. The process is meditative, and for me requires a kind of deep listening.<\/p>\n<p>I am a third generation artist, and I paint daily with my mother and two sisters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artist Statement<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nMy new series of acrylic resin paintings are, metaphorically speaking, exploring the idea of life as a mirror. Someone once said, \u201cWe don\u2019t see the world as it is, we see it as we are\u201d. There are over eight billion people on the planet today, yet each one is having their own unique experience of life, as different and unique as the dreams we have at night. I believe that the way we perceive the world, is a direct, projection of our own thinking \u2014 of our own thoughts and conditioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/Alex.Gerrard.Art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/instagram.com\/Alex.Gerrard.Art<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51011\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326-751x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"751\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326-751x1024.jpeg 751w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326-350x477.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326-768x1047.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326-1200x1637.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/The_Truth_is_Always_Naked_MixedMedia_30x40-e1585433148326.jpeg 1424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My abstract expressionist, style, is a direct representation of my personal taste.
