Wanderlust is an international group exhibition inspired by travel, far-away places, adventurous experiences and fascinating destinations. Participating artists were given identical postcards and asked to create a unique piece for the show inspired by the theme “wanderlust”. Travel via boat, plane, foot, and yes, even jellyfish to your favorite destination in this eclectic and imaginative exhibition!

Alec Huxley (B. 1980) is a painter based in San Francisco, California.

His work is representational, anchored by haunting cityscapes definitively of the American West Coast and the ghostly remnants of it's historic migration. Cinematic-like scenes serve as historical records of place, time and architectural style as well as the settings for surreal narratives. Well dressed figures in space helmets drift among Victorian buildings or rendezvous with wild animals in the empty streets of San Francisco. Other work references classical portraiture and still-life, with surreal combinations of nude astronauts perched atop solitary beasts, memento mori and anthropomorphic primates.

A self taught painter, his background includes studies in business, graphic design, photography and a career in printing before committing to fine art full-time in 2009.
