Silence is Golden

Born 1992 in a Military hospital in Germany and now living in the UK, Alex showed love for art at a very early age constantly drawing and painting. Always poring through old masters, he had sought to emulate them and managed a way to carve out an expression of his own.

Alex studied art at Hereford and worked as an assistant to established artists, before becoming a published artist. Now based in Devon, Alex makes effective use of early modern motifs and pop culture mixed with traditional painting practices. He regularly appears on gallery walls across the country and his true talents as a painter are widely acknowledged.

The basis of all his work is using the human figure to give expression to feelings and thoughts, mostly stoic, cathartic and contemplative. Within this framework the style is through the mindset of the Pre-Raphaelites who have been for many years a source of inspiration. In this vain old Hollywood nostalgia and the often use of female beauty is used as conduits of artistic expression, with combination of text to succinctly give meaning and context to the artwork.
