Born and raised in New Zealand, Alex Milsom studied Visual Arts in Auckland majoring in Printmaking.
Milsom is a multi disciplinary artist who has a passion for works on paper and three dimensional glass forms.
Milsom's mezzotints draw on the velvety blackness and intimate scale of the Mezzotint which provides a window to a dreamlike world. A world of childhood narrative imbued with adult insight. These fairytales are acted out with human and animal characters that address issues based upon the human condition.
Since 2006 the artist has lived abroad and is currently based in Glasgow.
