Oregon Art Beat
Painter Alex Reisfar
Clip: Season 15 | 8m 39sVideo has Closed Captions
Alex Reisfar's surrealist paintings confront the collision of man and the natural world.
Alex Reisfar's surrealist paintings remind us that nature and 21st-century man are colliding in unexpected and sometimes disturbing ways. We visit him in his cellar studio where he paints canvases that both illuminate the consequences of man's disregard for nature and explore the power of imagination.
