Alex Head is a multidisciplinary, Berlin-based artist who is interested in exploring, in his own words, “the impact of culture on our interior worlds as a way to access and process personal, childhood and young adult memories”.
His new week-long exhibition of recent drawings, Work Tap comes to Centrespace Studios & Gallery on July 25.
Taking its name from an anonymous, underground zine in his home city, the collection represents an artistic attempt “to turn barriers to creativity into the means for creativity”.

BIG MISTAKE, Alex Head, 2024
For Head, the art of drawing is a critical pipeline between the brain and the body, and a means of self-healing.
The work on show is a temporally rich mix of the personal and the political; the vivid and the dark, created in a “resurfaced swamp of prejudice, anxiety and political paranoia”.
WAXVERITA, Alex Head, 2024
