Stéphane Alexis

Stéphane Alexis is an artist based in Ottawa, Canada. His work stems from his personal experiences, demographics, and sub-demographics in which he belongs, with close attention paid to both conceptual design and aesthetic quality. His desire is to bring attention, focus, and transparency to peoples and communities that are tucked away due to the hardships they face and the unwillingness we have in acknowledging those hardships. Alexis uses these qualities as a bridge, giving insight on issues and circumstances facing these communities, both locally and globally, through his choice of subject matter. He believes that we can only come to solutions if we identify issues; we can do this by communicating openly with each other and allow the negativity and difficulties to come to the surface.
