Alexander Paige is an American born painter from Southern Californian specializing in abstract artistic pieces containing broken mirrors. Born September 12, 1981 Alexander Paige started painting furiously on July 16th 2001 as coping mechanism to the death of his best friend. Alexander Paige is dedicated to the gift of creation as a contribution to humanity & creates vibrant canvases by layering viscous house paint oil paint applied with painting knife, painted glass & broken mirror to form nuanced painterly compositions.

Throughout his life Alexander Paige sought authentic experiences, committing himself completely to fine art production with the passing of his best friend, these experiences have shaped Alexander Paige’s ethos, evident in the vibrant color palette, fast and loose drawing technique and raw approach he takes with his drawings & paintings.

Alexander Paige actively produces from personal memory & experiences drawing from personal inspiration, creating pieces that explore pure painting & abstraction. The artist’s application of paint is a symphony formed of layered paint, touches of pastel, nuances of painting knife and adhered broken mirrors building a euphoric climax to the canvases, resulting in compositions that echo the experimental and unexpected production of fine artwork. The layering process involved in each piece reflects the evolving nature of life and its various incarnations.   The paintings are an academic abstract expression of emotion carrying weight & value.

Balance is pivotal to Alexander Paige’s oeuvre, creating balance through texture with his coarse application of layers of acrylic house, oil paint, pastels & broken mirrors. Alexander Paige’s pursuit for internal balance is marked in each piece. Today the artist works on his canvases directly onto the floor in the first layer using acrylic house paint across several canvases at one time to ensure there is equilibrium within his series.

Alexander Paige maintains a universal approach to aesthetics and considers the impact of art on an entire space and upon its viewer. Already known as an emerging talent in contemporary North American art scene, Alexander Paige’s work is now gaining pace within the international market.
