If our unconscious controls our moods, then how do we truly know what  
it is that makes us feel happy, ecstatic, humdrum or downright angry?  
We have resorted to verbalizing why we feel a certain way, but  
perhaps the unconscious is better served by a more direct form of  
translation. Alex Mehiri uses his brush to unravel his emotions, to  
express himself and discover that which lies beneath. His bright  
colouration, thick impasto and wonderful composition reveal a complex  
character with a lyrical soul. Come discover the inner world of Alex  
Mehiri, and meet the artist in person as well. -Christina

Artist Statement:
Using paint as my medium and a pallet knife as my tool. I paint  
unconsciously as a means to lose myself. My art is a mixture of  
color, texture; Motion and strokes; Chaos and control. My artistic  
expression serves also as a means of self-discovery. I paint freely  
in the moment with no clear idea of the final product. Relying only  
on colors, texture and emotion to guide me. -Alex Mehiri, 2010
