Mark Alexander

Mark Alexander is a British painter born in 1966, known for his hauntingly dark and heavily worked canvases that often revisit and obscure iconic images from art history, including works by Van Gogh and Rembrandt. His paintings are characterized by thick, almost sculptural layers of black paint that partially obliterate or transform their source imagery, creating a tension between presence and erasure. Alexander has exhibited internationally and his work has been collected by major institutions and private collectors, with his pieces regularly appearing at leading auction houses.
