"There are artists out there who are shaking things up and pulling at the seams of abstraction to the point at which an implied figuration edges in and out—sometimes overtly, other times implicitly. Alexander Ross (b. 1960 in Denver) is one such artist. His paintings seem to simultaneously make the immaterial visible and the material invisible. . . The push-and-pull of 'Is this abstract or is this figurative?' has been one of the defining characteristics of Ross’s art since the 1990s. Still, as consistently as it has been part of Ross’s artwork for the last three decades, his art has by no means been in a static state; change is part and parcel of Ross’s creative process. There is a scientific explanation for the evolution of cells. The same can be said of Ross’s work when it is examined through a stylistic lens."

"Clouding Orbigress (2025), in which the figurative trompe l’oeil is employed toward arguably abstracted content, is a terrific example of this sea change in Ross’s style. The smoothed surfaces of curvaceously limbed or branchy forms are sandwiched together with additional insertions of circular or knobby shapes that are fitted like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. All of these parts unite in a nebulous mass that floats or squirms around a mysterious zone defined only in the negative space by linked shapes."

"The paintings of Alexander Ross are a probing reminder that one cannot flagrantly toss around the term 'abstraction' to describe an image that may seem nonrepresentational at first glance, for so much else is at play. When I see Ross’s paintings either in photographic reproduction or in situ, I still feel a sense of shock that they are two-dimensional images over a canvas and not three-dimensional figures resting atop a flat surface. The visual sensation of three-dimensionality is a result of Ross endowing his subjects with a dynamism that enables them to illusorily enter our space."
