Light, movement and atmosphere are the visual language of Alexander’s work. Much of his work focuses on urban environments, with cities such as London and New York featuring prominently. Alexander immerses himself in the life of these urban environments, day and night, in all weather conditions. He doesn’t seek to create topographical depictions of these urban spaces - his compositions evoke the varying moods of these cities, which become his characters. Using architecture, lighting and movement, Alexander creates paintings that are figurative in approach but dissolve into abstraction, allowing the imagination to explore and create it’s own narrative. Alexander’s depiction of cities and landscapes, even when locations are familiar, are deliberately ambiguous in terms of time and place. In this way, he creates a somewhat dreamlike alternative to these environments - showing us another way to experience them, while simultaneously capturing the heart of what they mean to us.
