Alexia Vogel

With a lush tactility and heady mystique, the painted worlds of Alexia Vogel translate the amoebic, sublime nature of nostalgia, fantasy and wanderlust into vast, immersive canvases and vivid works on paper. Her imagined paradises disavow the logic of time in order to reach a space and state more felt than perceived—spaces of sustained reverie and suspended sensation.

Vogel's creative process is guided by instinct and spontaneity, allowing the physical properties of the paint and its autonomous movement across the surface to direct the outcome. Within her work, moments of lucidity dissolve into states of dreamy meditation as she intuitively shifts between abstraction and figuration. Her more recent work sees notions of journey, passage and transition attaining more emphasis, while the artist continues to explore extremes of scale and further degrees of abstraction.
