Alex Bridge I have been involved in art (visual art, art education, community arts, theatre and music) for the past 25 years or so. After studying Visual Arts in Alice Springs and Darwin, I moved to Qld and completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts in Fine Art at Qld College of Art in 1996, majoring in printmaking and sculpture. As well, I completed further visual arts studies at Southbank TAFE where I was later employed as a casual tutor/teacher. Since moving to Maleny over 7 years ago I have focussed on painting, mixed media/collage and assemblage; as well as performing with Work in Progress/Fine Cotten and with my partner, singer-songwriter Noel Gardner. For the past 7 years I have also made images for the annual Woodford Folk Festival Fire Event. I like to use a wide range of styles, mediums and techniques in making my art, consequently my output is eclectic, varied and inconsistant, a lot like life really!! Sometimes in my work there is whimsy and humour; sometimes there is a literal simplicity without mystery, while at other times my images are deeper and layered with more complex meanings. Recently I have been painting quirky cats & dogs (available at Lizzart in Montville) and making soft sculpture cats, as well as other work. Currently I am working on a series of paintings for an exhibition in November at the UpFront Club in Maleny, will post dates soon. My ongoing aim with my art practice is to keep on pursuing the challenges and rewards of making art. Styles: contemporary, abstract, semi-abstract, figurative and illustrative Main artforms: painting/mixed media works on canvas, board and paper. Also assemblage, natural fibre sculpture, large-scale image construction, recycled/found object jewellery & illustration. Contact Artist |
