About The Artwork

Part of the solo exhibition "Above It All" at 111 Minna Gallery, San Francisco August 18th - October 7th 2022 -- A contrast in urban jungles. Almost eight thousand miles away, the forest lapping like waves at the edges of Angkor Wat, momentarily reclaimed from the curling roots. Immense angular towers reaching above the canopy, the superhuman smiling stones faces of Bayon, everything encrusted in ornamentation, pictures and stories carved throughout the tunnels and alleyways. A place to reflect under the stars, the complex itself a compressed cosmic metaphor. The essence of this jungle city tied to the west, facing the setting sun. At home with the canyons of Victorians and streetlights crisscrossing sidewalks and the palm lined monuments erected around San Francisco. Younger than the temples but similarly plastered with stories, ornamented alleyways, central edifices thrusting towards the heavens, and palaces of ideas tucked around galleries, bridges and tunnels. Color bleeds from the sky and it’s time to let go of the day, suspend disbelief, ignore the fight against gravity and the tides of entropy and find light in the dark.

Alec Huxley (B. 1980) is a painter based in San Francisco, California. His work is representational, anchored by haunting cityscapes definitively of the American West Coast and the ghostly remnants of it's historic migration. Cinematic-like scenes serve as historical records of place, time and architectural style as well as the settings for surreal narratives. Well dressed figures in space helmets drift among Victorian buildings or rendezvous with wild animals in the empty streets of San Francisco. Other work references classical portraiture and still-life, with surreal combinations of nude astronauts perched atop solitary beasts, memento mori and anthropomorphic primates.
