On this episode of Light Work presents: Everything is Connected, we are joined by Patrick Alston and Larry Ossei-Mensah. Alston has a solo show on at Ross and Kramer Gallery in Chelsea until May 14th 2021. We sat down to talk about how this new body of work came about, some of the themes that he's exploring in his most recent paintings, the relationship he's developed with Larry over the years, and building relationships based on respect trust and vulnerability as key markers for success.
Patrick Alston energetically creates works that, along with the interplay of titles, trigger thought-provoking and reflective topics including but not limited to socio-politics, identity, language, and the psychology of color. Alston’s re-contextualized subjects, rich palettes,
and complex compositions are dramatized exhilarating energies, expressed through mature gestural mark-making (some of which are reminiscent of the traditional graffiti culture of New York) that help to project an unwritten aesthetic which makes up the urban landscape.
