Meet Alex Echo at our Official Opening in Ringwood
Seldom are we able to take an opportunity to meet such an influential artist yet we are humbled, excited, honoured to host an evening with such a person, the world renowned Alex Echo.
Alex and Westover Gallery invite you to Westover Gallery, 51 High Street, Ringwood BH24 1AD for an evening with bubbly and an exhibition that runs deeper than a visual feast. A narrative that takes you on your own journey, symbolic, fun, deep yet lighthearted, this is an exhibition you will want to see.
Alex Echo has created artwork professionally for forty years, and has placed his works in the collections of some of the world’s top corporations, institutions and celebrities. Primarily a painter, sculptor, & collagist, he has had no other profession, art has been his calling from the age of 6.Despite a Parkinson's diagnosis, Echo continues to see the fun in life and approaches his art in the same way. His latest collection 'Sky Writing' perhaps expresses this child-like playfulness the best as each piece of the collection exudes wit, humour and bright rainbow colours. Since his diagnosis Alex Echo has been experimenting with ways to continue making art and to share the beauty of the world with his collectors. His work is ever evolving and changing as we all do.
Alex has worked relentlessly for various charities and institutions as a professional artist working for over 40 years, raising over £1,250,000 from sales of his work. He has created artworks for some of the world’s top corporations, institutions and celebrities all over the world including creating the principal designs for Paul Smith, painting Eric Clapton’s guitar, and providing artworks for Absolut, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey and the Elton John AIDS foundation. Parkinson’s has never affected Alex Echo’s passion for Art, however, and he continues to produce incredible artworks often supporting Parkinson’s charities. His diagnosis has led him to discover new ways of producing art, launching himself into the world of digital art, he now feels as if the universe had told him that he had said all he could with paint and it was time to try something new.
Alex is an inspirational and incredibly talented man, which is evident from his vast numbers of collectors across the world. the 29th of September will be an evening of conversation and fabulous artwork in support of raising money for Parkinson's UK. An all round positive and uplifting event that we can't wait for.
This Event will be taking place on Friday 29th of September 2023
