Alejandro Hyam

Paintings of grids, drips and woven colour.

Alejandro Hyam is a British painter whose abstract acrylic paintings build ruled lines of colour over gestural grounds, then let paint drip and run through the structure. A disciplined, geometric warp is crossed by a freer, gravity-led weft, giving each canvas a tension between order and chance. The work is bold, colourful and made to live with in a home, office or clinic.

Hyam trained at Chelsea School of Art and Wimbledon School of Art in London, where he won the Don O’Brien Prize for Painting (1996) and First Place in the Drawing Prize (1998). That grounding in drawing and geometric abstraction underpins his current Drip Framework series, where controlled paint-flow techniques meet a structured grid.

His paintings are in private collections in eight countries (UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Spain, Colombia, France, Switzerland and the USA), and in corporate collections including 15 paintings at the Johnson & Johnson Eye Care Institute, Prague, and the Senova Institute, Prague.

Every original is signed, arrives ready to hang with a certificate of authenticity, and ships worldwide. Commissions and custom sizes are welcome.
