About The Artwork
This piece works as a translation appropriated from its original source of a found advertisement. Using cropping, digital manipulation, and CMYK process screen printing, the image now totally devoid of context, is re-imagined as Adam and Eve in the 1970's. The colors exaggerate the psychedelic aesthetic and gives off the sugar rush appeal of being in love. The couple is seen in a greenhouse that mimics the Garden of Eden examining a plant (forbidden fruit). This painting explores the concept of translation and how elements can remain intact despite peripheral context changing and our unwillingness to believe that something can remain over long periods of time. This piece is inspired by the work of Belgian trio Leo Gabin and American artist Kelley Walker.

United States
Alexander Key is an emerging contemporary artist from Charlotte, North Carolina. His work appropriates a wide variety of cultural ephemera, extracting familiar aesthetics and re-contextualizing them into new compositions that act as bittersweet commentaries. Mining from the resonance of childhood images and personal nostalgia, he explores the impact of these mental keepsakes on a broader collective memory. Working primarily in the medium of silkscreen printing, his work ranges from monotone prints to densely layered paintings. Please reach out if you are interested in showing his work or want to know more about his artistic practice.
