Today his work appeals to me for several reasons.  I’ve had the privilege of seeing a sizable amount of his work (we are the same major) and am struck by the consistency of his style, his complex figure relationships, and his ability to combine flat geometric shapes with a variety of spaces/environments.  To me these three elements in his work make his images continuously captivating every time I look at them.  Below are some of my favorite works by Alex:
