Alexander Rasmussen

Alexander Rasmussen is a fine artist who grew up in the Niagara Peninsula  and naturally gravitated to contemporary abstract expressionism. His recent body of work can readily be described as nostalgia inspired. Many of these paintings capture the mood of the world after sunset. He paints on wood panel because this durable material allows him to use a multitude of tools and methods to express this profound sentiment.

Alexander is a Ridley College graduate of 07’. After attending Emily Carr University in 2008, he resumed his studies at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia studying Sociology and Fine Art. When Alexander is not at school he is busy painting full time at his home in Niagara.
