Ross Bleckner emerged for recognition in the New York art world in the 1980s. His paintings, drawing, and prints have been largely investigations of change, loss, and memory, often addressing the subject of AIDS.
In unusual mixtures of figurative and abstract styles, Bleckner uses symbolic imagery rather than direct representation. His work is visually elusive, as is the case with the screenprint PS. Elegiac in meaning, it plays upon flower shapes, brought together in a floating bouquet, to memorialize lost life. His repertory of commemorative motifs includes, among others, urns, stars, radiant light, and sparkling chandeliers. The flower blossoms of PS recall Monet’s water lilies at Giverny, but they also bring to mind microscopic views of human blood cells—blood representing for Bleckner both life and, if tainted with a virus, death. The tenderness of the image is enhanced by its title, suggestive of “P.S. I love you.”
Bleckner was one of a younger generation of artists in the 1980s who sought to make their gay identity the subject of their art, and their art the vehicle for political activism.
