Alexandra Squire is an abstract painter whose work balances vibrant color with muted tones to create compositions that are at once simple and quietly complex. Through careful blending and layering, she builds works that hold depth, subtle variation, and unexpected relationships between color.Her practice spans canvas, wood, and acrylic blocks. Each piece often begins with sketches and color studies, allowing intuition and structure to develop side by side. On canvas and wood, pigment is layered slowly, with close attention to how tones interact and evolve over time. In select works, Squire incorporates multiple coats of resin, a process requiring precision and patience. The finished surfaces appear smooth and effortless, revealing depth through light, sheen, and quiet dimensionality.The acrylic block works extend this investigation into color and light. Encased within clear acrylic, layers of pigment are suspended in space, allowing color to shift with movement and viewpoint. These works emphasize transparency, reflection, and optical depth, offering a distinct but closely related expression of her painterly language.Squire’s practice is grounded in the idea that complexity emerges through accumulation. Colors soften one another, darker tones give way to lighter ones, and growth unfolds gradually. Minimal in structure but open in interpretation, her works encourage personal association - whether experienced individually or arranged as a grid.Alexandra Squire’s work has been exhibited nationally and is held in private and corporate collections throughout the United States.Represented by Illumine Gallery.
