Giles Alexander has centred his art practice around a powerful visual discourse about belonging. He asks us “what does it mean, and how do we find a sense of belonging in a city, in a country, in the world, indeed in the universe”? Alexander’s humanist investigations have followed many aesthetic paths over the years, with a hallmark of intense technical prowess. The artist is aware that these questions have preoccupied humanity since we encountered the power of thought.
Alexander’s architectural and planetary works are well documented through major exhibitions in London, New York, Sydney and Singapore. Alexander is a multiple art prize finalist including, the Archibald Prize, Sulman Prize, Moran Prize and Blake Prize and In recent years, his work has been acquired by major international private collectors. Work by Alexander is also held in numerous public collections including; London Guildhall Art Gallery, Bond University, ANU, Gold Coast Gallery, Tweed river Gallery, Artbank and MCQ International.
