Photographic artist-documentary and conceptual documentary
I experiment with the representation of documentary images to highlight issues concerning our social environment & everyday living, often working in collaboration with specific communities. My practice is also focused on examining the documentary photograph’s relationship and role within representation in the form of deploying different strategies of representation to elicit a response from an audience. Being aware of the politics of representation enables me to situate the documentary photograph as part of a larger debate involving visual culture, the dissemination of images & the role of photography in today’s media saturated world |

|
Through my work I reflect upon dichotomies such as scientific knowledge versus intuitive insight, the notion of Nature as Other, alienation, the animal as symbol and metaphor, psychoanalysis, dreams and fairy tales. |

The paintings are nostalgic towards a lost age of youthful innocence and dreams. My work is like a zeitgeist of a close relative one never new or a lost love, perhaps this person was dead long before one was ever born. The work therefore holds a fondness to places that these past lives were lived out in, so close to ones self, yet so far away. They lament on a kind of love and longing to meet ones fore fathers and express a shared inherited passion towards alpine rock and pine trees. |

Since 1994 he has exclusively worked in black and white. Speaking about the monochrome nature of his work, he said: "Working in black and white breaks the link with naturalism and allows the painter to operate without instinctively judging how 'real' an image is. |

Alex Dewart’s painting are based on landscape and could be said to explore the space between : representation and abstraction; digital and analogue ; the simulated and the real.
They may be based on real places or be completely imaginary. It is an enquiry into the relationship between painting and the virtual imagery of the latest technology.
I am interested in the idea of the ‘Contemporary Sublime’. |

"One of the most important motif in my work is contrast nature and technical civilization. There are my own contemporary person experiences from everyday live existence.
There are grotesque and certain tension in my paintings. Important pictures series is for me the "Metro" cycle. I placed there scenes from nature- fishing, chase, hunt, in to the decorative application of the underground's walls..I wanted symbolic transfer a little bit nature in to the Prague underground stations.
Conflict between natural and technical world is in the animals portraits too. |
