Acclaimed Artists Head North

by Sarah Grant, 1 Oct 2008

At the end of August I was fortunate to meet Glasgow based artist Alex Frost who was visiting the city to bid for the Ramada Jarvis Hotel Commission. Alex was in the city to meet the project co-ordinators and to gain further understanding of the commission and to gather some inspiration for his proposal.

Alex is among a collective group of artists in Glasgow making a name for themselves in the national arts scene; and with this increased recognition comes increased demand. Having recently completed exhibitions this year in Hampshire (England) and Berlin (Germany) he was working towards an October’s viewing at the acclaimed Sorcha Dallas Gallery in Glasgow and these pieces were also to be exhibited later at the Frieze Art Fair in London. With his evidently tight schedule it was fortunate to have met with him over coffee and to hear first-hand about his previous work which has included some spectacular sculptures and pixelated drawings. To see some of his work visit www.alexfrost.com. Alex was a pleasure to meet; extremely modest and evidently interested in the task at hand.
