consummate draftsman, Alexander
has liberated himself to make some
of the most honest work he’s ever
produced: at once direct, unbridled

Collector and publisher Keith
Fox says he’s purchased older
pieces by Alexander and treasures

“Our most recent acquisitions
of Alexander’s works were two
pieces from his No Good at Exits
exhibition from 2014,” Fox explains.
“Hung in our home, we pass by
these paintings daily. His highly
expressive figures and faces are
an enduring joy to look at, and the
salient brushstrokes and marks are
remarkably congruous with the
abstract elements.”
