REVERIE 2020

Alex Gross's "REVERIE" (2020) is a contemporary painting characterized by its fantastical, surreal imagery. The work depicts a central female figure holding a small dog while surrounded by a field of tulips, a sky filled with floating heads, and other figures with animalistic qualities. This work uses realism, photorealism, and a hyperrealistic style to create a dreamlike world that is both alluring and unsettling. Gross's style is often seen as a commentary on the anxieties and complexities of modern life.
