Matthew Alexander

Matthew Alexander is a prominent contemporary British landscape painter known for his mastery of technique and his contribution to the art world. Matthew Alexander was born in 1953. His father, Chris Alexander (1926-1982), was a noted artist and lecturer. Matthew gained recognition and began exhibiting his paintings in major galleries in the South of England. His work garnered strong demand, leading him to submit his art to prestigious exhibitions in London. These exhibitions included the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Royal Watercolour Society, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and the Royal Society of British Artists. In 1985, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, which is a significant honour in the art world. Matthew Alexander has a focused approach to his work, emphasising the sensory experience of the landscapes he paints. He states that his senses are stirred by the landscapes he encounters, and he is particularly attuned to elements such as light and shadow, sun, and cloud patterns. His goal as a landscape painter is to express these sensory impressions and translate them into purely visual terms through his artwork. His paintings have found a place in private, public, and corporate collections worldwide. This international recognition highlights the universal appeal of his work. His dedication to capturing the essence of the landscapes he encounters and his mastery of technique have earned him a well-deserved reputation as one of the leading contemporary British landscape painters.
