Alexi’s Urban Experience

Alexi Keywan’s keen sense of the built environment is also about the peripheral things which most of us take for granted:” They are the things you see ever day but don’t pay any attention to”.

A graduate of the national Art School in Sydney, Alexi’s work covers several mediums and while bearing a striking stylistic likeness, the works are produced in totally different ways.

Her monochromatic take on life features roads, signage, power lines and traffic lights: “You have to look hard an d force yourself to see them” says Alexi.

Her work can embrace broad brush-strokes in paint to incredibly detailed labour intensive dot work with a very fine pen.

It’s almost impossible to tell from the images online, but the Passenger No8 and No 10 are in fact extremely delicate finely detailed drawings.

Almost photographic in look and feel they are extraordinary detailed line work from a finely skilled artist: My work evolves from the unfinished inventories of the urban experience” she says.

“What I do has meaning to me- I don’t have a political message. It’s just about existence in the world.”
