Biography
Alexander is a British artist based in London and Hamburg. He studied
at Central St Martin's and at Chelsea College of Art where he was
awarded the Eversheds prize for painting with his piece entitled “Anna,
Streatham”. He has been exhibited extensively throughout the U.K.,
including a solo exhibition at the Sassoon Gallery, London, entitled
"Galvanized Female Juncture".
Creating a narrative is a primary concern within his practice. In his
current work he is exploring transcribing the imagery found in Renaissance
depictions of Greco-Roman and Catholic mythology into contemporary
stories. An ongoing fascination with the technical process of painting
drives Alexander's experimentation with the subtle augmentation of the
relationships between background and foreground. The gentle distortion of
perspectives in a non-overt way adds a touch of surreality to his
compositions.
