Biography

Alexander Jowett is a Toronto-based minimalist painter who incorporates traditional and unconventional materials into his art. His work explores how perception is shaped by experience, drawing from Kantian philosophy.

Using linen, wool, denim, rope, and found materials, Jowett creates textured, abstract compositions that challenge visual interpretation. His art has been exhibited in galleries and public spaces, engaging viewers in a dialogue between materiality and memory. By emphasizing tactile elements, Jowett fosters a deeper connection between art and lived experience.
