Overview
Alex Hamilton in Studio, August 2024
Alex Hamilton in Studio, August 2024

In his latest series How Far Is It If You Only Think It, Alex 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. Engaging with contemporary themes, Hamilton draws 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.
