Acrylic, Oil, & Paper on Canvas

Colorful ocean wildlife painting by Memphis-based contemporary artist Alex Paulus. The work features a jumping orca, also known as a killer whale, in an expansive ocean seascape. This is juxtaposed against the red, white, and blue streamers hung along the top of the composition, reminiscent of ocean theme park attractions. Currently unframed, but options are available.

Alex Paulus is originally from southeast Missouri, but has been a resident of Memphis, TN since 2007. He received his MFA in 2009 from the Memphis College of Art and is now an Assistant Professor at Southwest Tennessee Community College. His work skillfully combines dark humor and figurative art in his paintings. With a penchant for colorful and imaginative compositions, Paulus introduces us to characters immersed in unconventional scenarios. From famous faces to fictional beings, each artwork invites you to explore the vibrant and thought-provoking world he creates.
