Having just graduated in summer 2021 with a BA in Painting from the final year of Wimbledon College of Arts, Alex is a great example of the resurgence of painting in British contemporary art.
Alex's main influences are. One of the most internationa'ly lauded of living artists, Frank Auerbach was born in Germany in 1931, however, in 1939 his parents sent him to England to escape the Nazis as part of the Kindertransport Programme. Francis Bacon was one of the dominant figures of British and International post-war art, and his works remain unmistakable for their contorted emotion and visceral physicality.

Louis is a master of taking perspective and deconstructing parts, rearranging elements to unsettle the composition whilst at the same time gelling it all together; it's a thoroughly intriguing approach and one that you find yourself getting more and more from the longer you live with a work.

We called in today to see the Norman Cornish paintings as me oldest daughter is learning about him at school. It was a wonderful experience for her to see his paintings on the wall of the gallery, but it was even more special for her to share what she knew about him and learn from the lady who runs the gallery what she knew about him and the times he lived in. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time with us. A truly inspirational visit!

This is an outstanding gallery. Cockermouth is, admittedly, off the beaten track but if you can face an extra few miles from the usual Lakeland hotspots, it's a lovely place to visit. There are excellent independent shops but the best feature of the town is the Castlegate gallery. There is always a thoughtful and inspiring range of artists' work on show.
