Lectures
Alexander is an extraordinary speaker. His vast knowledge of architectural and art history coupled with his many adventures in pursuit of his subject matter and his wealth of paintings is a remarkable combination. Never using notes Alexander takes his listeners on an enriching and amusing journey into great art and architecture and the spirit of place.
‘Wednesday was fantastic, probably the best lecture in the Society's history.’
Treasurer, a regional NADFAS group 2010
"No introduction was needed for our lecture on a rather damp evening in early November.[...] He held us spellbound, marvelling on the realism and sheer beauty of colour and presence of his paintings. It was breathtaking. His books and cards were eagerly snapped up to be enjoyed at another time to remind us of a most fascinating evening in the presence of a wonderful artist." - June Munday, Warsash Art Group 2011
"If ever a lecture deserved a standing ovation this one did!" - Warsash Art Group 2011
Passionate, erudite, delightfully humorous, Alexander is a brilliant speaker and accompanies his lectures with his fabulous paintings. Time spent at one of his talks is transporting, amusing and utterly fascinating.
