Alexandria Wallace (b.1990, Dallas) is a painter and photographer who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She holds a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA from The Otis College of Art and Design.
Wallace's work indexes place through the compression of photographic sources and the documentation of the less concrete: sound, movement, and the sway of light across surfaces. Through the forms of painting, drawing and textile, the completed surfaces memorialize moments. She is combining planes of information through stencils, thin lines drawn with ink, and areas of thick geometric painting that allow for both rest and support in the compositions. The “sites” Wallace works with range in scale from the cast shadow of a glass of water to more expansive landscapes, spaces and memories.
