Alex Hamilton (b. 1958, Adelaide) lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. An artist, filmmaker and musician, Hamilton creates works that pose thought-provoking questions and, at times, syntactic answers, reflecting on the age we live in and the challenges of our turbulent world.
In this online exhibition, we present a series of works that span the nearly two-decade-long working relationship the artist has had with the gallery. From small ink drawings included in the first iterations of the gallery’s program in 2008, to large-scale multi-media paintings from 2024.
Hamilton is engaging with contemporary themes, drawing inspiration from past centuries of music, art, literature, and philosophy. Using a wide range of materials — inks, paints, pens, Perspex, photocopied papers, scratching, and other interventions — Hamilton offers a timeless yet urgent commentary on the human experience.
