About the Artist

Making art that refuses to be quiet

Alex Morrow is a multidisciplinary artist working across acrylic, oil, ink, and digital media. Rooted in classical training yet drawn to experimental process, their work occupies the charged space between intention and accident.

After graduating from the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Alex spent three years in residency programs across Europe and Japan, absorbing influences that now surface in a practice that moves fluidly between figuration and abstraction.

Solo exhibitions have appeared in Portland, San Francisco, and Berlin. Work is held in private collections across North America and Europe.

Artist Statement

"I am drawn to moments of threshold — where one thing becomes another. Paint drying on canvas, a city at 3 a.m., the precise instant before understanding arrives. These are my materials as much as any pigment."
Alex Morrow, 2024
