Alexandria Robinson is a visual artist from Nassau, Bahamas.
She received her BFA at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA, in 2018 and received her MFA at Goldsmiths College of Art in London, UK in 2020.
Her work involves painting, metal sculpture, and different forms of collage, creating images that question the nature of materiality within a social context, while also exploring the harmony they create within a composition.
Drawing from her African-American and Afro-Caribbean heritage, she has consistently explored the figure's relationship to the spaces we inhabit, often addressing questions of complex identities and diasporic experiences.
In recent years, her focus has shifted towards the figure's relationship to broken landscapes within the context of the black Anthropocene and natural disasters. However, her work now factors in the figure's connection to the true spiritual self, transcending socially constructed and perceived identities. It is an exploration of the essence that exists beyond the confines of specific labels and explores the universal human experience.
When engaging with her artwork, she hopes that viewers embark on their own journey of self-discovery. She aspires to inspire them to find solace, inspiration, and a renewed sense of wonder in the extraordinary world we inhabit. It is her belief that art can be a catalyst for reconnecting with the world around us, prompting introspection, empathy, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.
