Alexis Butterfield
Alexis is a designer with a lifelong love of buildings and history. His work draws inspiration from the everyday historic buildings and places around him, particularly within his adopted city of Liverpool.
“My artwork is about ways of seeing and valuing the everyday past that surround us. I believe historic places and buildings are not neutral objects, from the time of their creation to the present day. They can have particular and elusive qualities that I want to capture through my drawing”
Alexis works with mixed-media drawing including use of wax resists to create surfaces with sharp contrasts of tone and texture. They represent a highly personal, emotional, intellectual, and graphic response to the personality of buildings and sense of place.
