Figurative and Postmodernist artist , Alexandra White aka Abstract
Alexandra, creates art with the vision of a figurative expressionist.
Born
in Manchester, Connecticut, she was raised surrounded by art.
Her mother an accomplished musician and oil painter. Her father
a craftsman with many talents. With a passion to paint and create
art, she attended both the Atlanta Institute of Art and Design
and Gibbs University, Boston. While pursuing her art degree
she began entering juried shows and exhibiting in the south
east.
By the late
90’s she moved to Columbia, South Carolina and studied
under popular acrylic painter Campbell Frost. She collaborated
with artist Beth Ernest on several abstract multi-media exhibitions
and held joint shows with popular Columbian artist Blue Sky
and many others. She was voted Free Times Best Artist, honorable
mention, of 2000.
In
2001 she collaborated with female artists in and around Columbia,
South Carolina to create the She Festival, a women in arts festival.
The festival was created to raise awareness about domestic violence
and provide a venue, for women in art, to perform and exhibit
their unique artistic talents.
Many of her early works encompassed nature, color field painting
and chiaroscuro. In later years, she began her contemporary
abstract expressionist style and has blended her knowlege into
what is now a more Figurative style. Always driven artistically,
her paintings; as well as organic collages and assemblage pieces,
are created as an expression of her experiences. When attending
exhibits she, by way of storytelling, encourages audiences,
to participate in a journey through touch. Which she hopes will
captivate lovers of art with a desire to transend beyond typical
artistic styles of the 20th century and gain strength in the
21st century.
Alexandra
