Alex Lockwood makes abstract sculpture from colorful material, often repurposed or recycled. He builds with one primary component which is repeated many times to create patterns and structures. His material is often recognizable (bottle caps, shotgun shells, bread tabs and lottery tickets) though not always immediately. A familiar object seen in unfamiliar numbers can be alien at first glance, and Lockwood finds power and beauty in presenting commonplace material on an uncommon scale.

Alex Lockwood is a self-taught artist from Seattle, WA, who spent 15 years in New York City. His work has been exhibited at Target Gallery in D.C., OZ Arts and Lipscomb University in Nashville, Oxbow art space in Seattle, and elsewhere across the country. He now lives in Nashville with his wife Genie and their two sons Roman and Oscar.
