Inspired by a vivid love for Fantasy and Science Fiction, Alexander Knutrud's art takes traditional oil and acrylic technique in to a more modern stage. A curiosity for color leads way to stark contrasts displaying bold emotions. When not painting, Alex leads a double life as a classical trombonist and pianist, teaching and performing in the greater Boston area.

Frames that make you wonder
For a piece I recently sold, I tried to make my own frame. Using cherry oak, I worked out a unique design to mount an abstract work, with the goal being to fit the work as much as possible. Keeping some of the cherry oak showing was important to both the client and myself... It really is a beautiful wood to work with. I think it was a success, but also a great adventure to try my hand at carpentry!
