Art Appreciation
Chloe Alexander, a printmaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, employs her art as a form of storytelling, drawing inspiration from illuminated texts, graphic novels, and children's fairy tales. Her whimsical imagery and characters aim to evoke nostalgia and familiarity in viewers, engaging them in visual narratives that transcend spoken words.
In her artistic depictions, Alexander often portrays birds and people in solitary or paired settings, using silkscreen in her printmaking to layer images with ink and paint. Her compositions, focusing on birds that could easily represent people, invite viewers to interpret and read into the stories she presents.
Alexander, who received her BFA in Printmaking in 2010 and an M.Ed. in 2014 from Georgia State University, has exhibited nationally and internationally.
In an interview, Alexander expressed pride in her current artistic journey and the ability to lead a multi-dimensional life. She mentioned being inspired by Robert Pruitt and Dawn Okoro, both Black artists in Texas. Alexander's artistic process is accompanied by a mix of NPR, her iMusic playlist, or true crime podcasts in the studio.
