The exhibition is the second in a yearlong series that celebrates Cirrus gallery & Cirrus Editions LTD 50th anniversary and honors the life of Peter Alexander who passed earlier this year.
IN MEMORY OF PETER ALEXANDER
1939-2020
Peter Alexander has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide since the mid-1960s. His work is an active exploration of resins and color, transparency, and translucence. Alexander’s vision is one of creating a generative object – an entity that appears to emit its own light and energy.

PETER ALEXANDER
Parrasch Heijnen is pleased to present Peter Alexander, a correlative selection of the artist’s recent sculpture and wall relief work in conversation with his sea and landscape paintings dating from 1990 - 2019. Alexander’s attention to the energies and forces of light and color discerned through observations of atmosphere and water are defining concentrations of this artist’s six-decade practice.
