Longing Painting

Alex is a stencil artist based on Canada's West Coast. Having primarily worked with acrylics and inks, a university professor challenged him to work outside his comfort zone. Alex took a gamble on stencilling and immediately fell in love with the process and was drawn to its bold aesthetic. He has continued to refine his technique since 2011. Alex has a passion for capturing the fleeting moments where gesture and emotion align. He challenges the relationship between the two with bold contrast, vibrant colors and unique surfaces. He searches for inspiration in nature, the people and city around him and artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock, Picasso, and Swoon. Since his graduation, Alex has shown throughout North America and continues to create daily.
