What is Artival?

ARTIVAL is a multilingual cultural festival which takes place across the Nordic region in 2023. ARTIVAL brings artists, cultural workers and organisations together in a sustainable manner to co-create and reflect on issues of inclusion and belonging through exhibitions, performances, talks, workshops and recitals.

Two of my large-scale paintings have been selected from a pool of over 3000 artists for the 2023 edition of the annual NordArt exhibition in Büdelsdorf, Germany. I am thrilled to be one of 200 international artists participating this year.

Alex Markwith: Inverse

Exhibition on view May 3-30, 2023

Galleria Kajava
Vallila Library, Päijänteentie 5, 00550 Helsinki.

Inverse is a solo exhibition by Alex Markwith featuring wall-hung sculptural assemblages alongside abstract paintings on canvas. Each piece is constructed in a series of improvisational gestures via intuitive use of color and found materials. The title Inverse refers to the asymmetrical balances within the artworks, and also the mirror-nature of the subconscious, a reflection of lived experience connecting maker and viewer.
