Tribal art was a significant influence on the Modernist artists of the early 20th century, African textiles and ceramics inspired designers of the Art Deco era; ORIGIN alludes to each, yet is entirely original, and essentially Mark Alexander.
Geometric and linear motifs give the designs a distilled clarity of form that is entirely modern, yet the careful fusion of hand-painted artwork with subtle use of technique and material also ensures that ORIGIN is a collection whose designs always appear crafted, not merely made.
This richly diverse collection of prints, embroideries and woven jacquards, imbued with an underlying Mark Alexander aesthetic, offers distinctive designs that can be mixed at will, in any combination, for a well-curated scheme.
