Alex Garant is a canadian artist who graduating from Notre Dame De Foy College near Quebec City, After graduating she when to go live in Toronto, Canada. After suffering from a heart attack in 2012 It changed the way Alex saw the world. She has shown her art all over Canada, The United States, Portugal and even Australia. Her painting from a alla prima oil painting shows a graphic design what is combined with a traditional portrait technique. Alex's painting can be compared to an optical illusion. Alex is a pop surrealist artist. The biggest reason I want to get involved in surrealism is because I adore the style of it and how it reflects half dream half real painting, These type of painting are my favorite because no matter how long you look and study them you will find something different about them, Alex's painting are very beautiful and have a wonderful meaning behind them, These painting are great conversation pieces because everyone who talks about them will have something different to say about it and how they interpret the piece. She creates her portraits by using oil paint. Alex uses patterns, duplication of elements, symmetry and image superposition as a key element of her imagery. I want to imitate how she added the illusion of two eyes, two lips, etc. I love how in her painting these girls love very perfect and almost doll-like. My goal is to create a piece simpler of course but also have my own style shown.
