Alice is a series of works inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice, a profound influence on Alex’s artistic career. The task at hand was to pay homage to Carroll’s vision while authentically reflecting Alex’s own perception of the world and its characters. Striking a delicate balance between respect for Carroll’s original vision and the pursuit of artistic uniqueness posed a significant but welcome challenge.
It’s important to note that these works were not intended as mere illustrations of the story. Instead, they were conceived as artistic expressions, where key figures from the Alice universe would be reimagined through semi-abstract works and character studies. Alex sought to merge whimsy with wonder, interweaving dark undertones with elements of hope and light. The objective was to create pieces that respectfully honoured Carroll’s vision while showcasing Alex’s distinctive artistic voice.
