Biography

Alex Yarlett's semi-abstracted landscapes employ wide, expressive brushstrokes and a high contrast, playful palette of inky blues, rosy neutrals, vivid turquoise and coral pinks, filling the canvas with energy and the shifting planes of light throughout the day, in a dreamlike interpretation of the landscape.

Alex is an expressive landscape painter. He completed a BA(Hons) Fine Art at Cardiff School of Art and Design and is now based in Falmouth, Cornwall. He is also a tutor with the St Ives School of Painting. 

Through his work Alex seeks to engage with the emotion of his surroundings to convey the dynamic story of the day he has experienced. Within this process, Alex gains inspiration from nature on location through spontaneous painting and sketching, using a mixture of fast line work and slow  observational drawing in a range of materials. From his studio, Alex then slowly builds and blends layer upon layer of medium to evolve each piece into his unique, informed and emotive abstract expressive art
