Alexa Pienaar is a South African artist and completed her undergraduate and post-graduate studies at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa. She is largely intrigued with landscapes, particularly the open fields of grass and farmlands of her hometown in the Western Cape, South Africa, and her journey to and from Johannesburg, where she now lives. Her most recent works incorporate familiar landscape imagery and sculptural objects, which are incorporated into larger installations. Her interest, ultimately, lies in the embodied, the experiential and the psychological effects of her environments.
