ALEX CAVE

Alex Cave is an outstanding new talent with a fresh and original style.  He knew from childhood that he wanted to be an artist, and often incorporated artwork into his lessons. On leaving school he gained entry to the Royal College of Art, graduating with a BA in Illustration in 1993, winning first prize, and an MA in Animation in 1995.  His Royal College of Art film was purchased by Canal+, MTV and the Edinburgh and Stuttgart Film Festivals.

After leaving college he initially worked in the video games industry, creating 3D characters and animations for clients including Lego, Kinder and The Tweenies. He has also worked as an animator for BBC TV’s ‘Boo’ series.

In his spare time, however, he was developing a private observational sketchbook, which led him to start evolving his own style and designs for people and environments to paint. Alex currently divides his time between producing animation for channel 5's children's tv and painting, with figurative work as his main inspiration, in a London setting.

Alex's uniquely fresh, animation-influenced, pixellated style is creating high interest and acclaim.  Enid Lawson Gallery is delighted to be bringing him to market.
