Freila Painting

Alexander Hinks paintings utilise multi-perspective inversions of aerial views in juxtaposition with skylines of the corresponding landscapes creating a relationship that combines our usual point of view with one that is more awe-inspiring. The iconic sharp masculine structures relish in the unnatural and technological but conversely have indexical dribbles of paint that flow throughout. This disruption of the hard-edged city alludes to Alex's desire for a sense of natural beauty in todays citadel. His work questions the spiritual ramifications of living in contemporary cities and searches for a modern experience of the sublime.
