Ante Facium II

This artwork by Alan Alldredge, titled "Ante Facium II, measures 41 high x 39 inches wide and has a 2 inch profile. Alldredge created this artwork using a high pressure tool that shoots resin through a mold. It's a mixed-media abstract artwork with a subdued beige and off-white color scheme. Two intersecting diagonal lines that form a 'X' shape in the center draw attention to the peaceful visual experience created by the tones.

The textures in "Ante Facium II" are varied, with some sections having a smooth, polished finish and others having a marbling look. This contrast draws the eye in and encourages thorough examination of the surface. This interaction between touch and sight is enhanced by the use of resin, which varies in its ability to capture light in the artwork.

The use of wood creates a wabi sabi effect, a very modern method of creation coupled with the softness of the wood.

Alan Alldredge

Alan Alldredge's artworks feature intricate pathways of texture, reflection, and illusion. Inspired by elements such as crystals, foliage, flowing water, and the human form, this captivating series highlights the idea that beauty is intertwined with the sacred. The flowing lines in his work symbolize a journey into the meditative, while the exotic finishes mirror the natural beauty of his backwoods studio. Though the technique is intricate, Alldredge aims to create transcendent and sacred objects through his art.

Alldredge refers to his pieces as "cast monoprints," where he treats printing blocks as molds, filling and painting them with exotic materials before fusing them onto various textiles. "My process relies on past experiences, using mixed mediums that intentionally resist blending. With limited control, I hope for the best as I press each piece."
