Alex Garant is an interesting artist who explores symmetry and creating an image that engages her viewer. Her art work draws from inspiration that spans from early ink prints to modern day images. In later years her artwork had began to focus on women who appeared to have double eyes, however I have seen a growth in her artwork over the past year. In her latest paintings I have began to see a new level of craftsmanship with the exploration of double vision. This technique looks very difficult and it hurts my eyes some times to even look at the painting without moving my eyes constantly around the piece instead of trying to take it all in at once. The appearance of transparency and the overlapping images is something I have seen before in another artist, however Garant shows a lot more detail and intensity in her work which I adore greatly.
