Pastels on Sand Paper Fort Greene Park Fall 2025, by Jesse Alexander
A striking study of light and contrast in Fort Greene Park, this Fall 2025 pastel on sandpaper by Jesse Alexander captures the park in a moment of late-season intensity.
Framed by darkened edges, the composition draws the eye inward toward a luminous clearing, where bands of sunlight stretch across the grass in rhythmic layers. Trees—some bare, others still holding onto bursts of yellow—stand in loose, expressive silhouettes, while a distant building anchors the scene with quiet structure. The interplay of shadow and light feels immediate, almost cinematic, as if the viewer has stepped into a fleeting pause between movement and stillness.
Working on sandpaper, Alexander embraces a raw, textured surface that allows the pastel to sit boldly, enhancing both saturation and depth. The result is a dynamic tension between softness and edge, atmosphere and form.
Framed in natural wood, the piece carries a sense of intimacy and focus—an evocative window into the shifting light of fall in one of Brooklyn’s most storied parks.
