Alexander Rhys
Alexander Rhys has a distinctive way of seeing the world, expressed through vibrant, narrative-led artworks rich in colour, texture, and cultural influence.
Fascinated by the role of visual elements such as colour, pattern, and texture, Rhys explores how they can be woven into composition and structure to communicate and tell a story. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources—including natural and man-made forms, urban and rural environments, and the contrasts between Eastern and Western traditions—his work creates layered, dynamic compositions that feel both contemporary and timeless.
Working initially with acrylics to build depth and texture, Rhys then introduces spray paint, bringing a sense of freedom and spontaneity to the surface. This combination of control and unpredictability allows him to transform everyday subjects into striking, expressive works. His use of a vivid palette, often enhanced with metallic gold and silver, adds richness and luminosity to each piece.
Rhys studied Fine Art at Birmingham and Bath Spa University, and since 2017 his work has been exhibited and collected internationally, with pieces sold across London, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Japan. His growing list of collectors includes Clear Channel, LDC, model and actress Millie Brady, and Kenyan hip-hop artist Octopizzio.
Named The Prince’s Trust Young Ambassador of the Year, Rhys is passionate about using art as a force for good. He has met with former UK Prime Minister Theresa May to discuss the role of art in uplifting communities and its potential to positively impact lives.
