Last week New Yorker, photographer, and COMUNE/Drop City contributor Alexis Gross stopped by our office for a visit.
Alexis was in town covering the Shake Junt premier for Color Magazine. We picked her up at the airport and immediately brought her to In-and-Out Burger for lunch. Once we got back to the office we gave her a tour and got her laced up with some new COMUNE clothes. We allowed her to have some Personal Pyramid time and then we brought her to our neighbor the LA GUN CLUB. Alexis had never shot a gun before and like a trooper she stepped up and fired an AK-47 and a .357. She was a little shaken at first but quickly got a hang of it and was hitting the paper target with ease.
Alexis Gross is a photographer, artist, and curator. She has identified with a natural passion for taking pictures and an artful future has become apparent. Her pictures are a true extension of her everyday existence, and it’s obvious to those who know her, that what you see is what you get. Feisty, private, eccentric, and amused by records, marijuana, motorcycles, skateboarding and older men, Alexis is a rare bird. Her connection to the skate industry has provided fodder for a portfolio of unique and absorbing imagery. Lifestyle and portraits showcase a fresh and exciting perspective, and Gross has garnered a great amount of respect from all those she’s worked with, both subjects and colleagues alike. Alexis has been featured in and contributed to high profile publications including: Color (Canada), Wow (France), Thrasher (America), Foam (America), Urban Outfitters (America), Complex (America), and Monster Children (Australia). Recently, Alexis debuted her art at a show that she also curated at KCDC in Brooklyn. She has appeared in art shows all over America and Canada, solo and group. Collaborating with retailers, art collectives, and other creatives, Alexis is continuously inspirited by her friends and surrounds.
