Alexandra Spinney's work deals primarily with themes of absurdity, traditions and morality. She creates iconic animal portraiture set amidst backdrops representative of landscapes, implementing traditional techniques of oil glazing, gild and carved wood. She is currently working on a series of bird portraits, ranging from accustomed representations of beauty to the everyday and overlooked. She is proposing an intrigue into the containments and procurements of reality while drawing reference to imperialist portraiture, haute couture, dutch symbolism and rococo romanticism.
