Lunch Break with Alex Radin

I had the privilege of getting to sit down with painter Alex Radin for a little three hour lunch at Evo Pizza last Tuesday, yeah there was some good conversation going on. Man this guy is on fire with passion about his work. His current series, "Through the Eyes of A Child," was inspired by his four year old daughter Ellianna, a budding artist herself, who is cute as a button and wise beyond her years. Alex recounted of how he was watching Ellianna draw on the kitchen table and noticed she had produced five or six pictures in about as many minutes, drawing everything around her, free of preplanning or concern for the viewer. She just drew what she saw, how she saw it because she like it. This was teh genesis of Alex's new series. You can check out his stuff at www.truthillustrations.com. You can also meet Alex and see some of his work at our next show on December 13th at the studio from 4-9 p.m. along with several other local artists. Should be a great time, hope to see you there!
