ABOUT ALEX

Alex Yarlett is an abstract expressive artist based in Falmouth, Cornwall. Alex studied BA(Hons) Fine Art at Cardiff School of Art and Design, with a focus upon mark-making, installation, print-making and painting.

“Capturing moments and emotions in my art is absolutely key to me. To create is to be vulnerable, to share something of yourself and your experience in a tangible way. Each painting becomes a time capsule of experience to treasure. I don’t seek to capture a realistic photographic image of what is in front of me; instead I encounter the raw moment by engaging emotionally with my environment and then translating this instant into a painted story. The layers of different medium and texture create this story, added to over and over again, with different elements of the painting exposed at different moments until an overall completed visual narrative is told for the viewer to experience.”
