Jonny Alexander Nocturnal Forms Print

Jonny Alexander has released a new print with 1xRUN titled Nocturnal Forms.

"Nocturnal Forms came to fruition directly following a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula. I was captivated by the jungle and the abundance and diversity of the plant life. I was also introduced to a new land form I had never witnessed. Cenotes are natural caves with a hole in the ceiling or they take the form of an open pit or sinkhole. It is a result of collapsed limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. You walk into a dark cave to see a small opening high above with a cropped view of the jungle, sunlight pours in like a spotlight illuminating a pool of fresh emerald water. The image is burned in my mind and upon arrival home I dove into this painting." - Jonny Alexander

The print is 20 x 16 inches with an edition of 35.

Jonny Alexander We're All Home, Floating Around On This Piece Of Stone Print

Jonny Alexander has released a new screen print with 1xRUN titled We're All Home, Floating Around On This Piece Of Stone. You have your choice of Grey Edition or a Hand embellished edition.

 "This piece is a continuation of my last release “Outdoor Innerspace” also depicting an astronaut. It’s a playful way of looking at perception and exploration. This image, “We’re All Home, Floating Around on This Piece of Stone” comes from the thought that we are all here on this one piece of rock together floating through space. The astronaut is holding a piece of stone and inspecting it. It’s an ode to going out and exploring the place we live and being as intrigued as you would floating around finding space rocks.

This started out with an ink drawing on paper with the intention of making it into a multi-layer screen print. It was finished as a 6 layer print using 3 different fountain blends (gradients) within in the print. Each piece is hand pulled right in the studio at 1XRun in Detroit." - Jonny Alexander

Jonny Alexander Drawing Connections & Losing Conclusions Prints And Original Art

1xRun are proud to announce the newest member of the 1xRUN team, California born and bred artist Jonny Alexander who joins as them as 1xRUN’s In-House Master Printer. Working closely with each artist Alexander put his own unique flair with each edition and worked closely with the artist to make each print come to life in the 1xRUN printshop. Studying at California State University in Chico, California Alexander majored in print making and since then has found his own unique voice with his printing, murals and paintings. In his personal work multi-dimensional layers of earth with a surrealist twist leave the viewer with plenty to digest.

“This is a collection of pieces that gives a good overview of my approach to art making. It encompasses techniques in painting, drawing and various forms of printmaking, mainly screen printing.

I have this thing where ideas and themes will come into my head and swirl around a bit and then they go and sit off in a corner that I can’t find. Then months later, like when you randomly remember a dream, the idea will resurface and be re-contextualized to my current frame of mind and will find it’s home in a painting.” - Jonny Alexander
