Alex Grant

Alex Grant uses paint, performance and poetry to make minimalist pieces while thinking about censorship,  obscenity and taboo.

Raised in Hackham West by puppeteers, Alex put himself through engineering school as a graphician for educational computer games on the Commodore Amiga. As an academic, inventor and entrepreneur, he played around with mathematical theories of wireless data transmission, connected cars and stuff in space.

Alex is studying at Adelaide Central School of Art.
