Alex Bierk

Alex Bierk is a Canadian painter whose work delves into themes of memory, loss, and the human condition. Born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario, Bierk is largely self-taught, employing a meticulous technique that transforms everyday scenes into poignant reflections on resilience and vulnerability. His paintings often begin with personal photographs, which he deconstructs using a grid method, resulting in works that are both intimate and contemplative. Please note: this work is unframed.
