Meet Bayside artist Gregory Alexander

Gregory Alexander's recent works are painted en plein air and feature iconic sites around Bayside including Ricketts Point and Green Point in Brighton. Gregory is interested in depicting his immediate locale and recording how the landscape transforms over several months as a result of changes in weather and light. This process of documentation provides local audiences with a unique insight into the subtle changes that occur throughout the year along the foreshore and coastal area of Bayside.

Interview

Bayside Gallery recently asked Gregory Alexander some questions about his art practice and his engagement with the beauty of the Bayside environment and its community.
