Alexis Trice's Dreamy Paintings Explore Nature, Emotion, and Transience

Alexis Trice, a New York City-based painter, creates dreamlike works featuring ethereal animals, water, and symbolic elements like candles and pearls. Her latest series explores the transference of emotional and molecular energy through water imagery. Trice, who earned a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, uses Old Masters techniques including imprimatura and grisaille layers. Her painting "At the Brim" depicts a weeping canine emerging from seawater, symbolizing emotional release. She also works in ceramics, creating candle holders shaped like fish. Her art reflects her urban upbringing and deep connection to nature, particularly the ocean. The article appears in Hi-Fructose issue 76.
