Alex Dordoy

b. 1985, Newcastle, UK. Alex Dordoy is a London-based artist, who explores ideas of artificiality, nostalgia, and the role of technology in image-making. The unearthly scenes depicted in Dordoy’s paintings reference Art Nouveau advertisements and designs, awakening the symbolic potential of their imagery. The artist edits and manipulates his source imagery using Photoshop and paints the resulting compositions, returning these representations to the physical realm. (Courtesy of Grimm Gallery, London).
