With a professional art career spanning over four decades, Alex Echo has garnered the attention of some of the world’s most prestigious corporations. Completely self-taught, his career highlights have included creating fabric designs for fashion designer Paul Smith and billboards for Absolut Vodka.

Combining art history with references to popular culture and iconography, Alex’s creations are inventive, informative and accessible. A harmony of colour, light, movement and emotion, his paintings depict a striking visual narrative that lifts the spirit of the viewer. In a melange of intricate brushstrokes, his work brings together the beauty and history of Impressionism with a new language of technique and style.

The vibrancy and softness of Turner and structure of Rothko are evident in his work, with the mix of resin and matt finish allowing the viewer to explore the intricate process beneath.
