Alexander Beech is a painter based in lutruwita/ Tasmania. His practice explores landscapes in paint with drawing as the fundamental basis. Using a range of techniques, an image builds that is painterly with fragments of translucent detail. He immerses himself in the landscape to share the experience and discover a sense of place within it, reflecting on events past and present. He synthesises connections between the subject matter and refines what is laid down in paint. His projects investigate notions of place, responses to the experience of landscape and vulnerability and disquiet in the landscape.

Alexander graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with First Class Honours (2018) and a Master of Fine Art and Design (Painting) (2019) from the University of Tasmania. He has held several successful solo exhibitions, exhibits work nationally and has been shortlisted for a number of significant awards including the Grace Cossington Smith Art Award (2024), the Tidal Tasmanian Art Award (2022), The Glover Prize (2020), the Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize (2019), the Hadley’s Art Prize (2019) and the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize (2017) among others. His work is part of the Macquarie Group Collection and private collections nationally.
