Over the last four years, in addition to creating his large-scale paintings, Los Angeles painter Alex Gross has also been making mixed media works on top of vintage cabinet cards. Gross transforms the original subjects in the Victorian photographs into a variety of comic book heroes and villains, as well as other zany pop culture characters.

Gross’ new book, “Now And Then, The Cabinet Card Paintings of Alex Gross”, collects 98 of these mixed media paintings into one hardcover volume and is now available from Gingko Press.
