- About -

Entering into one of Alexandra Baraitser's paintings we find ourselves in a different world altogether - one that is beautiful, modern and unique. Baraitser takes inspiration from twentieth century design and in particular the Bauhaus movement and classic 1950s interiors. Her canvases are based on photographs from period design catalogues, magazines and newspaper images that she feels jump off the page or have something in their composition that interests her. The Artist Alexandra Baraitser is a curator, painter, and founder of the Bricklayers Brunch Artists Network. She studied painting at Chelsea College of Art (1995) and went on to win The Abbey Scholarship in Painting at The British School at Rome (1997).
In 1998 she was shortlisted for The John Moores Painting prize and The Natwest Art Prize. Alexandra’s work was recently selected for the ArtCan Open at Trinity Art Gallery and The Cambridge Show at Kettles Yard. Her work is exhibited widely and she is represented by Tyrrell Art Gallery.
