Alex Simpson
Alex Simpson is a multi disciplinary artist based in London who works intuitively across painting, sculpture, printmaking and animation. Her work centres around personal narratives that are played out in worlds of melancholic children and strange creatures exploring their relationships with loss, fear and the unknown.
At the core of Simpson's practice is painting - a dialogue between artist and medium - in which she invites spontaneity to bleed out her delicate figures into washes of ink. More recently Simpson has begun to work with ceramics - sculpting three dimensional counterparts to her gouache apparitions - rigorous experiments with glazes has helped her retain the textural flow of painting in this new medium. Simpson's goal is to create a coherent visual language across these mediums.
Alex graduated in 2010 from the University of Brighton with first class honours in Illustration.
In August she had a joint exhibition, at The Horse Hospital in Bloomsbury, London.
