We are pleased to announce worldwide representation of artistic impresario, Alan Neider. Neider’s works represent a cornucopia of pan-cultural voices that converge to form a visual symphony, masterfully channeling chords of bazaars in Marrakech, Casablanca and Lagos, echoing the craft traditions of Appalachia, the deconstruction of form in early 20th-Century Modernism, the Gee’s Bend quiltmakers and the exuberant optimism of American Abstract Expressionism. The works’ materiality even carries reverberations from tent cities built by displaced populations as they seek to build new lives.

These sculptural paintings and assemblages become an archaeological record of generations of lives lived, cultural intersections and overlays – and, perhaps most profoundly, of a global aesthetic and artistic zeitgeist. They form a body of work that is a compositional tour de force, one that defies death and loss while offering us a celebrative explosion of color - and of art as a delivery system for expansion, enhancement and nurturement of life.
