As a collective, humanity has endured a destabilising experience. The challenges that have arisen from this pandemic have affected the fabric of our culture.

Drawing from his personal experience, Taj ‘Deams’ Alexander has developed an emotionally charged body of work in response to these tumultuous times.

Ambient landscapes dissolve into studied geological abstractions, revealing waves of movement in the stillness of a mountain. The artist wanders in a dreamlike narrative: through a moonlit panorama, recording the overlapping dimensions of his surroundings.

The ubiquity of the arch is testament to its power and rich symbolism. Architecturally it embodies strength - a perfect balance of fluidity and solidity. Both harmonious and symmetrical. It is not surprising then that the arch or portal has been used as a symbol of protection and sanctuary in both secular and non-secular contexts around the world. As a doorway or passage the arch presents a duality.

Position and perspective are the foundation of perception and interpretation. To frame is to draw attention to that which exists inside, or by exclusion call attention to that which exists beyond.
          Investigating the purpose and language of framing, Deams explores parallels between the frame as aesthetic tool and reframing as cognitive process.

Solo Exhibition

Taj Alexander creates an intangible yet immersive space by combining the architectural form of corrugated metal with the complex diffusion of hues in the colour palettes discovered lurking in the corners of film and cinema. The work offers an invitation to spend time in this elusive ‘in-between’ experience that is, in many ways, a form of meditation. As viewers, we are gently seduced into a moment of self-reflection to look beyond the image and into the void and ultimately shed light on our relationship with the unknown.
