'TIL NEXT TIME..!

Well, Custard Factory Open Studios concluded successfully last weekend. We had a great time and due to the strong turnout, we are already talking about throwing our doors open sometime before Christmas 2018. 

Thanks to everyone who came!

Below, #422 Headquarters: Our Meeting Room served as the main hub and refreshment area for people visiting our 4th floor studios. Many cold beers were handed out on what has been one of the hottest weekends of a long, hot summer.





Watch this space!

ALEXI K - ABSTRACT ARTIST

''developing naturally towards abstraction''

After college, I started out doing figurative and illustrative art, and even got signed to a big agency, but I eventually realised that the kind of art that I wanted to explore had little to do with commercial considerations.

Influenced by movements such as Cubism ( Picasso and Braque ), Bauhaus and the Dutch Avant-Garde ( Kandinsky and Mondrian ), I developed naturally towards abstraction. 

I share my studio with fellow painter Zarina Keyani, and we often use our wall space to exhibit work by friends from our art collective The Cobalt Blue.

Alexi has exhibited in Japan, Greece and the UK, and have clients in various parts of the USA.
