Sculptor Alex Bay explores mixed media in a unique way, creating tensions between paintings and sculpture. Driven by his passion for the art of construction, Bay geniusly transforms simple materials into uniquely crafted sculptures using electronics and electromechanical devices with tools such as computers, video cameras, and electric arc welding machines, as well as brushes, chisels, and hammers. He trains in computer animation, graphic design, video editing, and production which he also uses to construct his sculptures and to incorporate viewer-interaction with his works. Mr. Bay studied under the late Gene Davis of the Washington Color School, but his artistry is largely self-taught. He has shown in the Washington DC area with his latest exhibition at the Caelum Gallery in New York.
