Alexander Baynes Illustrations

Icons of London - sourced at www.artgallery.co.uk

Alexander Baynes uses simplistic color design twinned with a stylistic reductionist approach to create these artworks. His works often depict icons, whether these "icons" are architectural or physiological is more dependent on the work in question. His work is seductive to the eye in its simplicity and allows the viewer to respond and come to their own conclusions about the depiction, based on visual assumptions and the inherent semiotics within each piece.

The precise yet relaxed visual style of both the imagery and the mark-making found within his work is endearing to the viewer. This relaxed and gestural approach to the imagery allows for a less academic interaction between viewer and work which is often overlooked within contemporary conceptual art.
