Alex Markwith: Systems Settings Change / Solo Exhibition @ Galleria K, Vantaa

System Settings Change is a solo exhibition of paintings on canvas by Alex Markwith at Galleria K, Vantaa.

On view 7-29 January 2023.

Diverging from and building on Markwith’s signature abstract style, the paintings incorporate images such as skulls, oil barrels, computer icons, error messages, and fragments from NASA photos of outer space.

Stylistically, the works blend abstract expressionism, surrealism and street art while referencing current issues such as artificial intelligence and the global energy crisis.
