Alex Boican Political Allegory 19 October - 1 November



'Political Allegory'

Alex Boican

This work addresses the current social and political situation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, through the employment of the now ubiquitous mask and the vampire. The mask has become a powerful symbol of the pandemic and the debates it has provoked has charged it with conflicting meanings. The vampire has always been a powerful metaphor for corrupt politics. Marx has famously used it to describe the nature of capital: insatiable greed for its own sake. As such, the conundrum in which the vampire finds itself when faced with the mask is meant to signify the predicament of the present time.


Alex Boican is a self-taught painter and graphic artist. In his work reality is transfigured by imagination, in search of a balance between the figurative and the abstract.
