Biography

Interview
"With a little patient observation, these images
transform into a sub-conscious proclamation of
displacement, combined with an inexplicable urge,
a compulsion even, to face the monster under the
bed."
Hailing from Sidmouth in Devon, Sadler completed
a National Diploma in Art & Design, followed
with an Honors Degree in Graphic Design at
University West of England, graduating in 2003.
He very quickly became frustrated by his
experiences in the Graphic Design industry and
began painting soon after. We are so excited to
be supporting such a promising young Artist in
these formative years of his career.
The work of the young, emerging artist, Alex
Sadler, is often utterly intriguing and amusing.
But there is a sinister quality to the surreal
imagery he leans on for his compositions, quite
un-self-consciously. Compositionally Dali-esque
with an unapologetic lack of sophistication, much
of Sadlers' remarkable work journeys to an
imaginary world of disembodied, dancing alien
figures and effervescence that, on the surface at
least, appear to be child-like doodlings. With a
little patient observation, these images
transform into a sub-conscious proclamation of
displacement, combined with an inexplicable urge,
a compulsion even, to face the monster under the
bed.
