Mark Alexander (b. Horsham, UK) is a British artist whose work attends to endurance, belief, and the human search for meaning under technological, spiritual, and cultural conditions that no longer promise certainty or resolution.
He earned a BFA from the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, in 1996. Before becoming an artist, Alexander worked in aerospace — an experience that continues to inform a body of work characterised by restraint, precision, and a sustained awareness of consequence and failure.
Alexander’s work does not offer solutions. His images are held between reverence and critique, between the sacred and the mechanical. A flag becomes a wound. A Madonna becomes residue. A sun becomes a mask. What remains is neither hope nor despair, but something slower and more exacting: a form of attention that resists closure and refuses consolation.
