Alex Burbidge
I’m a Utah kid, born in Salt Lake City, raised in the suburbs of Sandy at the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains where I learned my love of wilderness and wildness. I studied fine arts at the University of Utah, focusing primarily on sculpture at the time and then drifting my interests towards painting after leaving school, young and wonder lust. I moved to Moab in the autumn of 1997 and have called it home ever since.
Wonderings of a Wandering Mind: A 25 years retrospective, showcasing the timeline evolution of changing series styles and use of materials of my art, since I’ve moved to Moab. From carved masks, plein air landscapes, social satire cartoon realism, textural abstracts, figurative studies, found object sculptures, dreamscapes and more. Although my styles are continuous in change and various in material, the desire to express has always been constant while exploring the imagination.
