http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html My black and white scratch board art us a world of opposite forces such as day and night, fire and water, warm and cold, black and white, yin and yang. Each picture is a journey of discovery since there are no preparatory sketches. I start from one point on which I expand very much like the sand paintings of native american indians. In the picture “Face” I started out by drawing a pupil of the eye on the left side counter imposing the B & W shapes and the 3-diminutional aspect of the human face. THe person appears as if he has an internal source of light and the eye glides a long the picture following along enjoying the contracts. when I completely lose attachment of being in control of the work it slowly comes to life on it’s own. all to lose it. http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#0 0992a2e6-c1f2-4148-90c8-316f764c3b79 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/10.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/10.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Mastery Night</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#1 31579ed0-3adb-4c7f-bdc6-ad77cbb1cf16 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/4.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/4.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Night Cars</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#2 2331c2e6-e6e6-419c-8257-735e1361b770 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/1.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/1.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Dog is barking</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#3 7ecaf876-3dbe-44ab-b119-55ded31a6105 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/6.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/6.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Bedford Park Ave</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#4 29b9a63b-9749-4769-aeda-8f6e94d83d00 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/7.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/7.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Homeless</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#5 3d156b4a-60c9-42d1-a24a-50d0da6cbd00 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/2.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/2.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Pot</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#6 7997d79b-cc8e-4561-aaeb-1eac3436fda5 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/9.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/9.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Guy</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#7 2bde9d43-9429-4594-a192-852b10e6d1b5 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/3.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/3.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Face</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#8 e79ab2e5-e5bf-4bab-a31e-c4229301b63d http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/5.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/5.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">You and I should meet</p></div></div> http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W.html#9 b1d1e90d-20ea-4ea0-a860-d5d44a286210 http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/8.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.alex-star.com/Site/B%26W_files/Media/8.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_221_42"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Palm tree and airplane</p></div></div>
