Alexander James Hamilton

Since founding the studio in 1990, I have dedicated myself to creating works that engage with the pressing cultural and environmental issues of our time.

  • Featured Works

    From unique one off photographic prints to limited editions, sculpture works & a range of objects I choose to live with. All are created in a sustainable & circular process, with recycling & end of life re-purposing at the very core of the studio.

About

My practice is driven by a lifelong interest in field observation, scientific discovery with a prominence in exploring the liquid mechanics of water. With works spanning sculpture, painting, photography, film, lighting and installation.

Every piece is thoughtfully crafted by hand in the studio, using only natural or recycled materials, and always with a commitment to environmental circularity. For me, art serves a purpose beyond aesthetics—it’s a call to action, making societal and ecological concerns relevant while inspiring tangible change.
