Chloe Alexander’s work centers on the layering of various printmaking and multimedia techniques to create unique prints and one-of-a-kind drawings. Inspired by the rich, high contrast illustrations found in illuminated texts, graphic novels, and children’s fairy tales, the often-whimsical imagery and characters she creates are meant to provoke a sense of nostalgia and familiarity within the viewer.
This work focuses on moments captured during the 2020 global pandemic and lockdowns. Using woodcut, it provides an introspective look into a life that moved at a slower pace and allowed time for quiet contemplation and moments of joy during a time that was tumultuous for so many.
Alexander graduated with a BFA in Printmaking from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Ga in 2010. Since then, she has exhibited her work in various locations, including the International Print Center in New York, as part of the PrintAustin Contemporary Print Exhibition, and at the Athens Printmaking Center in Athens, Greece.
