ALEX HRISSIS

Alex is a member of The Schildersbent (“The Bent”), a painters’ club founded and run by Contemporary Surrealist artist Christian Rex van Minnen.

Inspired by the original Schildersbent, a group of predominantly Dutch and Flemish painters who gathered in Rome during the 17th century, The Bent brings together contemporary painters interested in artistic exchange and the continued exploration of oil painting techniques. Through shared study, instruction, and community, it provides a space for painters to learn from one another while engaging with the techniques and traditions of the Old Masters.

The following paintings are some of Alex’s first still life paintings so far as a member of The Bent.
