Born in London in 1973, Alex Frost studied fine art at Staffordshire University (BA 1995) and Glasgow School of Art (MFA 1998). Recently he has exhibited in solo shows at Tramway, Glasgow, Sandra Burgel, Berlin, Milton Keynes Gallery and Artsway, Hampshire. Group shows include the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, Broadway 1602, New York, Flaca, London, and most recently Schurmann, Berlin.

Frost lacerates the sensual anxiety of architectural and sculptural archives. Scorning monstrous lampoon, his drawings and sculptures rediscover the play, gusto and timbre of the preliminary stages of modernist art and design, the multifaceted spatial imaginaries of paper architecture and jewel-like decorative materials used in Art Nouveau model making.
