Alex Mclachlan-Kambuts is an emerging artist from Adelaide, South Australia working across many mediums with a preference towards oil painting. Alex is inspired by nature, the play of light, and the shape, form and colour relationships that he sees in his everyday life and horticultural endeavours. Alex captures the essence of the subject whether figurative, landscape, or abstract. His main aim is to engage the viewer for more than 8 seconds hopefully provoking a response or reaction.

Many artists say that creating can be an isolating endeavour, however Alex has found it to be the opposite. Art transcends, gender, sexuality, age, and race, and can connect people from all walks of life. Alex continues to try different mediums, and experiments with different ideas, and he is continually learning, changing and evolving, attending workshops, courses and painting in groups. Art for Alex is not a static thing, and he loves the idea that there is always a new challenge out there for him.
