ALEX MALCOLMSON
Yew Tree Gallery
ALEX MALCOLMSON is a Shetlander, now living in Yorkshire, with a life-long memory of maritime stories and fables. His carved and constructed seabirds and mixed media dioramas are a reflection of life on these remote islands. Familiarity with the sea and wildlife in all its aspects gives him the empathy to convey the pure essence of his subjects through sleek line and form. His maritime framed boxworks suggest intriguing histories of life at sea. These are often backed with a section of an early sea-chart with the model of a relevant sailing boat in the foreground and carved fish swimming below, or other attributes of sea-faring life.
