Original Paintings by Alex Carr

Whatever is a striking, surrealist-inspired portrait built from bold geometric forms, unexpected proportions, and a deliberately fragmented sense of perspective.

The Labor Of Staying is a mixed-media geocubist surrealist artwork that explores the difficult, deliberate process of rebuilding a relationship after turmoil.

“The Last Drop Spilled” is a geocubist surrealist work where two figures occupy the same space, physically close and visually intertwined, yet they no longer seem completely connected.

“When the Room Emptied” (2026 | 60x60x4 cms | acrylic on canvas)

A profile emerges against a deep black field — composed, elegant, almost ceremonial. The figure holds a glass of red, suspended mid-gesture, as if caught between a toast and a confession.

“Black Drips on White Promises” (2026 | 60x60x4 cms | acrylic on canvas)

A fractured face emerges from a field divided between darkness and light. Clean geometric contours outline a figure that appears composed, balanced and elegant.

“Befuddled Mind” (2025 | 92x65x2 cms | acrylic on canvas)

In this surreal cubist composition, the woman is seen holding a bottle of beer in her left hand while her right hand touches her head, a gesture that suggests a futile attempt to make sense of her swirling thoughts. The beer symbolizes her befuddled state, a reflection of the emotional haze she finds herself in.

“Emotional Empathy” is a striking exploration of shared sorrow and the deep connection between two beings. In this acrylic painting, the two women, nearly identical in appearance, are bathed in varying hues of cyan blue. The distinct yet unified shades of blue convey the weight of their sadness, with one woman feeling the sadness herself, while the other, equally burdened, carries the emotional weight of her counterpart through empathy.

This artwork is a portrait of a young girl in a gesture that works as a barrier against outside scrutiny and shows her hesitation to voice her innermost thoughts.

“Duality of Self” (2021 | 90x60x4 cms dyptic | mixed media)

In this captivating artwork Alex Carr delves into the intricate and often tumultuous landscape of human psychology, exploring the poignant theme of dissociative personality disorder through a striking cubist surrealism lens.
