Day 71: Alex Colville

Bizarre Dream Like CGI Like Paintings From the Mid/Late 1900s

🖼 Alex Colville

Every time I see a Colville painting it gets stucks in my head for days.

It’s uncanny how his style looked so much like early computer graphics despite most of his paintings being created 30-50 years before.

I love all of his stuff but I think the one (above) of the horse running towards the train is my favorite.

A lot of people know him from this classic (below) that ended up inspiring Michael Mann’s HEAT (1995).

I also like these two (below).

They sell some decent looking prints here. Maybe I’ll get one.

Have a nice day 🫶
