About the Artwork:
“John and William continued to meet at the crumbling arch, ignoring desperate warnings from the older boys. They had spent hundreds of hazy, sun-soaked afternoons in these ruins but as the shadows grew taller and deeper, William became gripped by an uneasy awareness. Familiar trees felt distant, the smell of grass somehow sour, the air thin and bitter. The bones of ancient buildings seemed to shudder and sigh all around them as the boys stared into each other’s faces, trying to recall their features.” – Alex Eckman-Lawn

(Artist Bio)
Alex is a Philadelphia based Illustrator with a heart of gold and a body made of sewage. Alex creates multi-layered, hand-cut, paper collages using everything from his original digital paintings to imagery from old medical texts. Each layer is spaced, creating a depth that draws the viewer into the pieces. His work has appeared in comic books, on album covers, book covers, T-shirts, music videos, and posters. His cut paper works have most recently been on display at SCOPE Miami Beach, Art on Paper NY, Paradigm Gallery + Studio, Arch Enemy Arts, Gallery 1988, Cotton Candy Machine, Antler Gallery, Art Dept., Bottleneck Gallery, and more. He is currently hard at work trying to burn his name into the ground and pull the sun out of the sky.
