{"id":183,"count":2,"description":"Alexa Hawksworth populates her oil paintings and graphite drawings with both fantastical and realistic characters unique in their exaggerated gestures and expressions: grimacing teeth, elastic limbs, and unhinged cackles show a dizzying range of physical and psychological states. Her scenes are often imbued with an innovative sense of movement and time, as bodies and objects are propelled across the canvas or captured by the whims of a powerful environmental force. Together, her work shows an imagined, off-kilter world in which desire and emotion burst from the body and collide with the physical realm with maximum, high-velocity impact. Drawing from theatre, performance, and film sources, Hawksworth\u2019s distinct illustrative style combines meticulous rendering with bold painterly gestures, set to an electrifying colour palette.\r\n\r\nAlexa Hawksworth (b. 1994, Hamilton, Canada) is a painter and illustrator based in Montreal, Canada. Hawksworth received her BFA from Concordia University in 2020. She has presented solo exhibitions at Bradley Ertaskiran (Montreal) and Theta (New York), with notable two-person and group exhibitions staged at Public Gallery (London), Harkawik (Los Angeles), Franz Kaka (Toronto), Afternoon Projects (Vancouver), Sibling Gallery (Toronto), and Projet Casa (Montreal).","link":"https:\/\/bradleyertaskiran.com\/en\/artists\/alexa-hawksworth-en\/","name":"Alexa Hawksworth","slug":"alexa-hawksworth-en","taxonomy":"artists","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Alexa Hawksworth - Bradley Ertaskiran<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bradley Ertaskiran represents the work of Alexa Hawksworth, a Montreal-based artist.
