More about Marc Alexander
As well as being one of our foremost ‘Grasaille‘ oil painting artists, Marc Alexander is also well known as a teacher and mentor to many artists. In his own artwork, there is a sense of truth that evokes the depth and beauty of his subject matter. As a teacher, he has shared his ideas and experiences that have shaped his own art and work ethic over many years. Even though Marc’s aesthetic sensibilities have long drawn him to the figurative art of the fourteenth to seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish painters, his artistic process remains grounded in a combination of traditional and modern principles.
