Alex Xerri

Sydney-based painter Alex Xerri delves into nostalgia-laden realms of prehistoric life, obsolete technology, and the uncanny landscapes of early 3D video games. Her work, bridging childhood fascinations with dinosaurs, fossilised worlds, and the glitchy allure of polygonal virtual spaces, is rendered in richly textured acrylic and stone on canvas, evoking both the tactile and the imaginary.

Xerri’s practice draws from nature documentaries, vintage automotive design, and the aesthetics of exploration, reconfiguring these references into speculative biomes and species. Her paintings oscillate between archaeological reverence and playful world-building, offering viewers a portal into alternate pasts and pixelated futures.
