Alexander Basil’s (b.1997, Arkhangelsk) paintings mix humour with erotica, and psychosis with banality. He depicts a world where the body is central, in its assertion and construction and in the questioning of sexuality and gender arising from its depiction. An empowering act that gives to the viewer a voyeuristic perspective upon the artist’s unfiltered private world, a place where fantasy and reality blend and leaves us within the unique space for reflection that these delicate yet profound canvases are able to bring into being. Basil has studied at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf and the Academy of Fine Art in Vienna. He has been exhibited at Galerie Robert Grunenberg (Berlin, 2022), Galerie Kandlhofer (Vienna, 2021), Galerie Nagel Draxler (Berlin, 2021), Galerie Crone (Vienna, 2020), and Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (Düsseldorf, 2017) among others. Basil lives and works between Vienna, Austria and Berlin, Germany.
