Episode 135 - Giles Alexander

from Art Wank

Send us Fan MailWe spoke to Giles Alexander from his  St. Peters studio.  His painting practice strives to understand, 'us', and 'belonging' and in turn, the universe. Hence, Giles's fascination with planets and space.  'Giles Alexander’s art practice explores the visual discourse of belonging. He asks us how we find a sense of belonging in a city, a country, the world, and the universe. Alexander’s humanist preoccupations have led to a multi-disciplinary practice marked by the high production value and technical skill. The artist is conscious that the questions he ponders - around belonging, origin, and the universe - have absorbed humanity since we encountered the power of thought.'Giles is represented by Olsen Gallery and Mars Gallery. NB: we talked about Vantablack, a blackest black paint made and trademarked exclusively by the artist, Amish Kapoor, for his sole use. Another artist, Stuart Semple, has made his own blackest black paint, in retaliation, for everyone can use except Anish Kapoor! Thanks, Giles, we really enjoyed our chat and hope everyone does too!  Hosted on Acast.
