Alexander (1927-2023) was a British born artist living in California. After studying at St. Martins School of Art in London, he took to the road, with exhibitions in Sydney, South Africa and New York. His works encompasses three and four dimensional sculptures, paintings and, increasingly, holograms, in which art form he is a pioneer.
In 1985 he created the largest monumental bronze sculpture in the world in modern times, The Great Tower at Rutland Water. This was followed by two other major monumental works: Oracle on Queens Walk by the Thames for the celebration of Queen Elizabeth IIs Silver Jubilee and a work made from 24 tons of marble for the front of University Hospital Nottingham. He has created many very large, 2 x 1 metre, holograms as commissions. His work has featured in five large museum retrospective exhibitions.
