Notes

Keith Alexander spent his honeymoon visiting the ghost towns of the Namib and the eerie, sand-sunk wrecks on the country's coast. Generally drawn to the surreal, the enormous, deserted steel hulls sinking and reappearing in the desert, as well as the abandoned buildings preserved in sand, made a lasting impression on the artist. Grand Parade recalls these formative images using a carefully controlled perspective, a serene, low-key palette, and beautifully balanced, symmetrical composition.
