Press release

Baldwin Gallery is pleased to present our ninth exhibition with Alexis Rockman, a contemporary American painter whose large-scale works envision fantastical and often dystopian natural environments. Born in New York in 1962, Rockman combines scientific observation with imaginative narrative to address urgent ecological issues such as climate change and species extinction. With a background spanning the Art Students League, Rhode Island School of Design, and the School of Visual Arts, his practice merges artistic precision with environmental activism. Rockman’s paintings confront viewers with speculative ecosystems that highlight humanity’s impact on the natural world, reinforcing his belief that art can serve as a catalyst for social and political change.
