The Life Of Alexander Koleszar

By Krystal Branch


In the world of modern art, the name of Alexander Koleszar will definitely pop up because he is one of the most well known modern artists in the United States of America. He is known for his modern works that are quite different when it comes to the eyes of viewers. If one would want to know more about this person, here is a little bit of information about him.

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.

Even as a child, he already was very talented at art especially painting which was his passion. When he was at the age of fourteen, he was able to create around thirty canvases wherein some were actually exhibited. In fact, there were three of these paintings were showcased in the city hall of the area that he lived 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.

Another set which was named Addiction and Recovery was one of the sets created when he was going through depression in his life. This set concentrated on surrealism and showed all kinds of images that depicted things that were evidently not of this world. His imagination in this set is what made it quite known.

Of course there is his other set which is known as Life on Lifes Terms which concentrated more on abstract painting. Of course there were also other types of paintings in there like surreal paintings and other portraits but it mainly consisted of abstract art. Of course his style of a combination of realism and animation could actually be seen here.

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.
