A bumper edition of the weekly round-up of South Africa’s creative community and projects by Between 10and5 includes Cape Town artist Alexia Vogel.
Alexia Vogel: Championing a fresh approach to landscape painting
Alexia Vogel, a recent University of Cape Town Michealis graduate, is rapidly beginning to create a name for herself around Cape Town. Having most recently joined Barnard Gallery’s stable of represented artists, she is a young emerging artist, championing a fresh approach to the tradition of landscape painting.
Paint is her chosen medium for its constant ability to surprise. Her spontaneous process means she rarely has an idea of how a painting will turn out. Alexia works will oils, thinning the paint with a lot of turpentine to work with multiple layers of glazes to create exciting colour combinations and abstractions.
