Jack Alexander

Muralist, Visionary Artist & Journeyman Faux-Painter

Inspired by Nature -- Without Depleting Nature

Inside every artist is a muse who directs, inspires and encourages the creative process. For visionary artist, Jack Alexander, the paint, the canvas and the tools he uses are often his guiding force.

As an infant, Alexander was thought to be blind in both eyes.  Rather than respond normally to the standard regimen of vision tests, he experienced instead a distinctive ability to see and relate to "auras," the highly colorful electro-magnetic energy fields that emanate from and surround all animate beings and inanimate objects.

Touched by an Angel

In an experience that took place in the trance-like state of infancy, an event he now describes as 'being touched by an angel, as it were,' he received an esoteric, cranial-sacral massage from what he believes was his guardian angel  presence, a massage that opened the opportunity for him to adapt his unique sensibility to that which it commonly regarded as normal human vision.  Now, as a fully functional adult, he readily switches back and forth between these two innate sensibilities at will, discerning concrete, three-dimensional reality as well as the electro-magnetic energy that emanates from rocks, plants, animals and human beings.

With proverbial brushes in hand, Alexander was also born with a vivid recollection of his eternal existence in the heavenly abode he had come from before this life -- a lush environment of two suns and three moons, a place he calls "Home World."   From the time he was 3-years old, he has been drawing and painting scenes of this rich, idyllic, abundant paradise into which he believes Earth is gradually evolving.

In 1976, Alexander revisited Home World when, after accidentally driving his motorcycle off a cliff in northern California, he was rushed to the emergency room and pronounced dead on arrival. In what is commonly referred to as a Near Death Experience (NDE), he remained -- at age 27 -- clinically dead for two hours and fifty-four minutes.  During that period of time, he spent 155 years on the "other side" in Home World as a healthful, prosperous artist and architect, who had children and grandchildren there.  Only when an orderly in the hospital morgue began zipping him up in a body bag in a cold storage locker, did Alexander take a renewed breath of life back into his physical body here on earth and resume his life as we know it, bringing with him the architectural designs and concepts he had designed and created in Home World.

If You Can Imagine It, Alexander Can Create It

Originally from San Francisco, Alexander recently spent 8 years as a professional artist and specialty painter in Bali, Indonesia.  He then moved to Las Vegas where he spent 4 years painting murals and exotic faux surface treatments in the Las Vegas Strip hotel-casinos.  He now lives in Sarasota, Florida and travels nationally and internationally, painting commissioned murals, canvases and specialty faux finishes for individuals, businesses and organizations of all sizes.

With a visionary outlook and an uncanny ability to move paint, Alexander renders scenes of his former, futuristic realm and the other world realities and easy-to-care for, utilitarian faux surfaces that withstand the test of time.  Much of his inspiration comes from a motivational Twin Flame he calls "Yohiel." This guardian angel -- the same one who gave him the gift of sight in infancy -- has been inspiring his artwork since childhood. With Yohiel directing and guiding him once again since 1992, Alexander 's artworks continue to challenge expectations, provoke the imagination, and touch the depths of Spirit.  

Alexander 's life's mission focuses on the design and eventual implementation of a first-of-its kind, self-sustainable, eco-architectural urban model that uses solar energy, vertical farming and self-contained water purification to feed, house and support a healthy and productive population of millions of on-site residents.  Coupling architectural concepts from Pablo Solari with existing technologies that have been independently researched by Marshal T. Savage as well as Jacques Fresco of The Venus Project, the construction of such an innovative, self-contained master metropolis, when properly engineered, fabricated and installed, will maintain environmental integrity while presenting a threshold opportunity in cutting edge, eco-friendly solutions for global food, energy, housing, commerce and agriculture.

As a professional artist, designer, specialty painter and journeyman muralist, Alexander has a demonstrated expertise in conceptual model making and has an established ability to communicate ideas in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional visual formats.  He is available to collaborate with architects, engineers, contractors, landscape architects, urban planners, design teams and/or commissioning agencies to finalize landscape, hardscape and amenity plans in relation to numerous design variations on a similar theme.

Believe to Behold!

At the Paris Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas in 2007, he single-handedly refurbished and repainted the 35-foot high sky ceilings at the "Le Village Buffet" restaurant.  He also worked alongside only one co-worker to paint and maintain all the faux-wood and faux-marble on the trim, walls, and columns throughout the Paris Hotel-Casino and boulevard shops. In 2008, he served as foreman, punch crew painter, and journeyman faux painter, adding the finishing touches to the Concierge Suites and Lounge at the Venetian Palazzo Hotel-Casino Resort and to all three towers of guest rooms and suites at the Mirage Hotel-Casino.

For several years in Las Vegas, Alexander  was also actively involved in the ongoing development of the Las Vegas "Arts District." There, he exhibited individually at Neon Venus Art Theatre and in group shows with wineNart at Artistic Ironworks.  To this day, collections of his canvases are featured in the entrance lobby at Cafe des Artistes in Punta Mita, Jalisco, Mexico; at the Loft Galeria in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; at Perry's Joint in San Francisco; and at several restaurants and galleries throughout the island of Bali, Indonesia.  Since arriving in Florida in 2009, he has also exhibited one of his archetectual megacity models at the Brevard Art Museum in Melbourne, Florida and three of his 8-foot wall treatment drops at Florida Craftsmen, Inc. in St. Petersburg, Florida.  In September 2009, his painting, "Leper Beauty," won first place in the WQ Mag Fall Art Contest in Sarasota.

Over the course of four months in 2010, Alexander spent nearly 500 hours, painting a 14-ft x 26-ft wall mural on donation in the sanctuary at Northwest Presbyterian Church in St. Petersburg, Florida.  Not only do people who view the mural say it is gorgeous; some, who claim to have visited the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, say that Alexander's mural is most beautiful  they have ever seen. Most remarkably, the eyes of the Christ figure, which was painted entirely by free-hand, without any pre-drawing or sketching beforehand, seem to "follow" you as you move back and forth in front of the mural.  Not only the eyes, but the entire head of the Christ figure appears to turn from left to right as you view the mural and move from side to side in front of it.  Click here to see news coverage.

A graduate in fine arts and design from Pepperdine University, he has achieved national and international acclaim for his extraordinary use of color, light, and movement.  In Bali, Indonesia, his artwork won prestigious, international awards while he worked as an artist, muralist and faux painter for clients such as Cafe Lotus, Rioshi Japanese Restaurant the Radisson Bali Hotel.  Over the past 20 years, he has garnered 'Best in Show' awards in several internationally-juried competitions and has earned professional eclat from the likes of Disney, Playboy, Warner Brothers and Save the Children International.  

Exceeding Expectations Since 1949

To hear him tell of his plans or recount some of his experiences, he sounds almost grandiose -- that is until you've viewed his artwork.  Best described, his images depict other world realms as well as "art-fantastique" concepts.  His paintings are a cutting-edge combination of realism, surrealism and visionary art -- a blend of Michelangelo, Salvadore Dali and Leonardo DaVinci.

Alexander's artworks adorn the homes of such recognizable celebrities as actor Dustin Hoffman, Archbishop D. Tutu of South Africa and diplomats and dignitaries worldwide.  Clients, decorators, contractors and collectors call him a "master" at his craft and credit his images, murals, faux-finishes and architectural concepts as having healing properties.
