Oil painting -> List of Painters -> Ross Bleckner

Early Days:

   “I always absolutely thought there was a difference between being a young artist and an important young artist,' said Mr. Bleckner, who grew up in Hewlett, L.I., graduated in 1971 from New York University and earned an M.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts in 1973.”

Personal Details Name Ross Bleckner Place of Birth New York City Date of Birth May 12, 1949 (age 60) Nationality American Training New York University California Institute of the Arts Field Painting

Career:

   For the last 20 years, his art has been largely an investigation of change, loss, and memory, often addressing the subject of AIDS. Mr. Bleckner uses symbolic imagery rather than direct representation, and his work is visually elusive, with forms that constantly change focus. While much of Bleckner's work can be divided into distinct groups or series with motifs repeated from painting to painting, he is also in the habit of redeploying and combining old motifs.
