Alexander Hamilton artistic career could be described broadly as working within the field of art and ecology; for over four decades it has been centred on an exploration of connections with natural landscapes. The principal medium used in his visual enquires is the photogram (cyanotype) sometimes combined with photography and moving image work (as in the Fruitmarket Exhibition 2002, Threshold 2005 and Stromata 2011).
In 2008 a major showing of Hamilton’s photogram images, ‘Blue Flora Celtica’, was presented at the Foksal Gallery Warsaw. In 2009 he completed a one year residency programme at Brantwood, responding to Ruskin’s ideas on ecology and botany, with funding from The Leverhulme Trust. This work was shown at Brantwood, Lancaster University and The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. In 2010 he completed a Darwin Now project funded by the British Council, working with the Centre of Behavioural Ecology University of Poznan. His work is currently on show at Street Level Gallery Glasgow.
