Alexis Rockman: Drawings from Life of Pi
Alexis Rockman’s canvases present a darkly surreal vision of the collision between human civilization and the natural world. Accompanying the exhibition Alexis Rockman: Drawings from Life of Pi, this publication provides an overview of the artist’s watercolors for the development of the fantastical, imaginary world of Life of Pi, the 2012 feature film directed by Ang Lee. Though most artistic contributions to cinema are dependent on photo-realism or cartoon-like illustration, Rockman’s images are fluid, intimate, and dynamic. The publication also includes texts that explore the relationship between visual art- drawing specifically- and commercial filmmaking.
