About
|
Born on October 30th 1989, it took Alex almost twenty years to ultimately find himself at a table, drawing out of complete necessity. From those pencil line trails he was finally led to the medium of oil paint, and then to be completely consumed by the process of creating art. Working away at WASPS* studios in Selkirk, he is driven to paint seven days a week and finds the act of painting an essential part of his life, encapsulating both his thoughts and feelings, through his signature mark-making. His influences vary, ranging from Pablo Picasso, Joan Eardley and Francis Bacon, to William de Kooning.

"Painting for me is all about expressing things the only way I know how. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning.
