ABOUT ALEXANDER DESCHAMPS

Alexander Deschamps creates work ranging from bright, pop-inspired pastel drawings on burlap depicting animals and foliage in joyous harmony with man and environment, to animations condemning the desecration of the planet with imagery of exploding planets. Deschamps borrows language from cartoons and pop culture to drive his point, often pairing his signature bright color palette with the representation of darker themes.

He has an active studio practice based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Signage, graphics, cartoons, textures, and found objects are re-contextualized in collaged layers to create new histories, combined with elements of comedy, tragedy, pop, and politics. Alexander Deschamps received a Bachelor in Fine Arts from NYU in 2009.
