YES, I AM STILL HERE!

 Just want to say how nice it is for this blog to continue to get so many hits, even though I've been practically invisible since March 2020.

Hopefully, your curiosity will be rewarded: My excuse is that I happen to be working on a completely counter-intuitive and (to me) unexpected five-year 'abstract' art project.

When you have a timespan that wide, then you will also know that alongside, you can factor in family emergencies, employment situations, births, near-deaths, dogs, cats, and everything else that life randomly throws at us.

Don't panic!

;)

I'll be back ASAP.

(This pic is a joke btw).

WELCOME - Здравствуйте - Bienvenue - こんにちは - Wilkommen - 你好 - Χαίρετε

My name is Alexi K. I am a contemporary artist, based in Birmingham, in the UK. My art is all about abstracting the everyday and speculating the future: architecture, people, diagrams, data, and bright colours. I'm inspired by Cubism, Futurism, Bauhaus and Constructivism. I love straight lines. Enjoy!

'MOOD FLAGS' ... 12 YEARS OLD TODAY..!

A fun project back in 2010 at my old studio. I'd love to revisit this style in our infinitely more paranoid and angst-ridden times. I wonder what colours I'd use?


Title: Mood Flag, part of an ongoing series, acrylic on canvas, 40cm x 50cm.
