My new studio view in the Egypt Hills, December 6, 2024
The old studio view from The Hungerford Building
East Main Street, Rochester, NY
As this tumultuous year draws to a close, I offer my Best Wishes to you my readers, and there is so much to be thankful for here in December, 2024. I. am hopeful that the visual arts will draw us together as a community, and we strive for those connections that bring us together rather than the factors that tend to divide us.
Here in the Rochester area, this is the first full year that I have had my art studio at my home in the hills. I had moved away from The Hungerford Building on East Main Street because of friction I felt with the new owners there. Now, all I have to do is walk a few feet to my new studio space, and save all that time and money driving to East Main Street!
During this year I reconnected with my audience thru the exhibition that we held at The Rundel Library in the early months of 2024, and I really enjoyed putting that show together. I also connected with the editorial team at Marquis Who's Who. For years I was listed in their book - The Who's Who of American Art, and now I have a new page that you can visit that lists "Industry Leaders":

The Marquis Who's Who also sent me a commemorative plaque which you can see below:

Over the course of this year I have been working on a series of paintings using a matte acrylic, in a very geometric style. The inspiration for this series started out with an interest in patterns and branched out into a mathematical concept based on the notion of a cellular automaton. This cellular structure is an idea that is championed by the book "A New Kind of Science" authored by Stephen Wolfram who has a brilliant idea of how things organize themselves in nature.
Here is one of my new paintings which I call: "Dispatch". I use some of the rules that I found when I was reading this book...
"Dispatch", acrylic on board, 2024 by Alan Singer
Now, I have a new connection to mention before I go off to celebrate the holidays, and that is a site where you can find this and other new paintings of mine. I was asked to join a group of artists by Henry Clark who runs a site for art collectors called: "Apricus". You can find this website easily!
Check it out.. I did a short video interview which I will post when I get the link. In the meantime - Happy Holiday..!
