Sugar
ARTIST BIO
Alex Sugar is well-known for his realism in painting native flora and fauna in conjunction with objects that consider the concepts of time and place. He draws these elements together with a slightly surreal twist, lending to his distinctive style.
Having showcased his work through a number of group and solo exhibitions throughout Australia and internationally, Alex Sugar has also completed a number of large-scale commissioned public artworks, and is highly motivated to continue within this domain.
Alex Sugar is dedicated to creating bold and dynamic murals that not only enhance the connection to and engagement with public spaces but also stand as distinct artworks in themselves.
