Alex Wisman is a visual artist who exhibits his work commercially and is an established street artist. He started out as a graffiti writer who has now expanded into abstract painting and illustrations.
Alex’s current body of work captures the expressions and moods of bipolar disorder. He juxtaposes bright, vibrant colours with dark backgrounds. His faces capture the tormented and torturous feelings of the lows experienced living with bipolar. Although the faces are mostly sad, he uses a bright uplifting palette to contrast highs and lows.
Rudimentary strokes are often completed with the artists fingers and spray paint. Alex is currently living in Brisbane/Meanjin, working with commercial organisations as a live illustrator, while keeping his feet within the art world.

There isn't a huge meaning behind the flowers I paint, but this series demonstrates my connection to graffiti, whilst also being anchored by my homage to Chinese ceramics.
These paintings are almost an indirect contrast to my portrait paintings - these flowers are fun and limitless, I paint them from my imagination and splatter the paint around. The flowers are a subject of beauty and I have a lot of fun creating them.
