Alex Knell is a multimedia artist who studied at Goldsmiths and the Royal Academy of Art, London. 

This exhibition in the Plot café features three paintings from Knell’s ongoing series of Generals.

With these apparitional paintings, Knell revisits often forgotten or overlooked military figures. By exhuming the decaying narratives that surround these personas, in an era of extremes and polarised positions, Knell insists upon the necessity and phantasmagoria of nuance.  

Knell’s work is typically preoccupied with moments of hope, doubt, possibility & potential. Working in many different media, including oil paint, text, installation and sound, his work seeks to open a dialogue with the viewer plunging them into paradoxical visual, aural or conceptual experiences. Sometimes tapping into elusive evocations of nostalgia or ambiguous interpretations of history.  

Alex has exhibited in London, New York and across Europe. 

Tuesday 24th January - Sunday 5th February. Monday - Friday 9am - 4pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm.
