Alexis Rockman (Born 1962) is active/lives in New York.  Alexis Rockman is known for Mod still life, surreal and animal painting-environment.

Based in New York City, Alexis Rockman creates botanical, insect, and mammal studies that create a dialogue between art and science. Many of his works are "creepy-crawly" perverse such as one of his better known pieces, "The Ecotourist" in 1997 that shows his own decaying body in the rain forest with exotic animals making off with his private body parts.
