Artwork
Since leaving the army, Alexander Chamberlin has been forging ahead in his career as an artist with four solo exhibitions, many group shows and a series of residencies and awards.
His work spans several genres, landscapes, interiors, portraiture and still-life, all painted in soft-toned impressionistic style.
Alex was featured in the BBC2 series "Chelsea Tales", screened in September 2003, and is an active member of the Chelsea Arts Club.
He intends to allow the viewer to become familiar with the subject. Unlike straight studies, his paintings relate to the individual on a personal level.
His way of working has come about via a number of influences. He admires the work of J.W Waterhouse and his ability to capture a fleeting moment in a style only afforded by photography. He also respects the linear quality of Egon Schieles' work and the structured brushstrokes of John Singer Sargent.
