E. Alexander

E. Alexander is a contemporary visual artist known for their evocative exploration of memory, identity, and the interplay between abstraction and figuration. Born in 1987 in Richmond, Virginia, Alexander developed an early passion for art, drawing inspiration from the vibrant landscapes of their hometown and the narratives of everyday life.

After completing a BFA at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009, Alexander honed their practice through residencies in New York and Berlin, engaging deeply with cross-cultural artistic discourses. Their work, which ranges from large-scale paintings to experimental mixed media installations, utilizes layered textures and diffused color palettes to create immersive environments that invite viewers into moments of introspection and wonder. Alexander’s art has been exhibited in solo and group shows at prominent galleries including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia, and Kunsthalle Leipzig.

In addition to their studio practice, Alexander has contributed to community art initiatives, offering workshops that emphasize art as a tool for social connection and self-expression. Their work is held in private and public collections internationally, and they continue to push the boundaries of contemporary art from their Brooklyn-based studio.
