Leslie Alexander
Waterjelly 847e, 2011
Pigment ink on canvas, 26½ x 20 in.

By printing on canvas and deliberately emphasizing the pixel grid, her work references both painting and photography. Alexander, who recently exhibited at Storefront Gallery in Brooklyn, is also a curator, art advisor, and member of BRIC’s Board of Directors.
