Alexander Cheves

Shapes and color relationships in my sculptures and paintings are directly informed by landscape experience: space, sky, horizon, architecture and hills. The landscape atmospheres are an opportunity for awareness of where one stands; the architectural forms are personified and solid. The contrast between the two is not about conflict, but about being aware, with a relaxed sense of now. 

My newest work is increasingly more curious about the moment. For example, a small house shape is arranged on its "side" or included in a stack or arrangement of shapes. In this case, the reality is about the "small house" as a sculptural object and its current circumstance. The allusion to architecture makes the object dreamlike and the test of circumstance weirder.
