Alex Yarlett

Alex Yarlett is an abstract expressive artist based in Falmouth, Cornwall. He grew up in Cornwall, and it is was here that he began to nurture a passion for Art; in particular drawing and painting the rugged Cornish Coastline. Alex went on to study BA (Hons) Fine Art at Cardiff School of Art and Design, with a focus upon mark-making, installation, print-making and paint. He apprenticed with Paul Wadsworth during this time, and upon graduation began to focus his work once more upon the coastlines of Cornwall.

Through his work Alex seeks to engage with the emotion of his surroundings to convey the dynamic story of the day he has experienced. Within this process, Alex gains inspiration from nature on location through spontaneous painting and sketching using a mixture of fast line work and slow observational drawing in a range of materials. From his studio, Alex then slowly builds and blends layer upon layer of medium to evolve each piece into his unique informed and emotive abstract expressive art.
