A warm welcome to artist Alexander Rhys
Alexander Rhys masterfully blends the elegance of Japanese aesthetics with a European sensibility in design, seamlessly weaving together influences from two rich artistic traditions. His artworks exude a refined harmony reminiscent of the Japanese concept of “wabi-sabi”, celebrating imperfection and transience while imbuing them with a contemporary flair rooted in European artistic sensibilities.
Incorporating elements such as delicate butterflies and vivid blossoms into serene landscapes, Rhys pays homage to the timeless beauty of Japanese artistry. Yet, his compositions also bear the mark of European sophistication, with bold brushstrokes and dynamic compositions.
One of Rhys’ signature techniques is his extensive use of gold, a nod to the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold lacquer, elevating imperfections into points of beauty. This fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, coupled with his innovative use of materials, creates a visual language that transcends cultural boundaries, captivating audiences worldwide.
