STATEMENT

Leaning heavily into vintage magazines and advertising, and otherwise mundane imagery, Alex’s approach is to reimagine and rework the presentation of the nuclear family era with a certain level of uneasy projections and lurid landscapes through mixed media collage approaches, constantly bouncing back and forth between analog and digital.

BIO

Graduating with honors and distinction in design from San Diego State, Alex has worked with world renowned artists such as David LaChapelle and Graham Moore. Finding his niche in being commissioned mainly to create collage art to live within the realm of album artwork and shirt designs, his foreboding style leaves viewers with a feeling of both eerie unease and uncertainty.
