About
Alexandria Robinson (b. 1996, Nassau, The Bahamas) is a visual artist from Nassau, Bahamas. She received her BFA at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA, in 2018 and received her MFA at Goldsmiths College of Art in London, UK in 2020. Her work involves painting, metal sculpture, different forms of collage, and collective performance. Visually, she creates images that question the nature of materiality within a political, ecological and social context, while also exploring the harmony they create within a composition. Rooted in a Pan-African lineage that bridges the Caribbean, North America, and the African continent, she has consistently explored the figure's relationship to the spaces we inhabit, often addressing questions of complex identities and diasporic experiences. In recent years, her focus has shifted towards the figure's relationship to broken landscapes within the context of the Black Anthropocene. However, her work now factors in the figure's connection to the true spiritual self, transcending socially constructed and perceived identities. It is an exploration of the essence that exists beyond the confines of specific labels and explores the universal human experience.
