Alexander Irving

Alexander Irving has worked in a variety of media, always returning to drawing as a place of inquiry and wonder. Graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1987, he has since exhibited his artwork lnationally, and internationally. His recent work is text based in pencil, paint, and print. The work is full of beginnings, repetitions, and bifurcations that never lead to unity, an end, or an exit. Drawing upon seminal text from the likes of Roland Barthes and Franz Kafka, the original is transformed into image through the transcription and layering of text.

I am interested in a text that negotiates the diversity of its possible continuance and becomes, as it were, infinite. My medium is repetition.

Currently, Irving is a member of the Red Head Gallery.
