About The Work
Ross Bleckner's paintings, photographs, and prints focus on the transience of beauty, the fragility of life, and the loss of love. By clustering and repetitively painting subjects such as birds, flowers, and microscopic cells, Bleckner creates imagery that is often visually elusive and diffused by light, with forms that constantly dissolve and reassemble before the viewer's eyes. Despite their abstract nature, the visually haunting patterns are recognizable in a way that is both visceral and difficult to define. Set against a black background, this refracted composition references the impossibility of reconstructing memory.
