Award-winning British multidisciplinary artist Alexandra Gallagher creates striking works that span collage, street art, prints, painting, and mixed media. Her art celebrates the surreal and sublime, delving into the realms of memory, dreams, and imagination. With a strong focus on feminist narratives, Gallagher’s work weaves layers of rich symbolism to tell intricate, surrealist stories that explore inner thoughts, emotions, and societal experiences. Each piece evolves unpredictably, guided by a fluid and organic creative process.

Gallagher’s distinctive style and evocative symbolism have earned her national and international recognition, with exhibitions and sales worldwide. Her accolades include being the Saatchi Showdown Surrealism Second Place Winner, Secret Art Prize Runner-Up in 2016, a finalist for the London Contemporary Art Prize in 2018, shortlisted for the Rise Art Prize Zealous X and Finalist in the Women’s United Art Prize 2024.

Symbolism plays a key role in Gallagher’s work, as she often incorporates motifs such as celestial patterns, lush botanicals, animals, and fragmented human forms. These elements combine to create layered, dreamlike compositions that invite viewers to uncover hidden meanings and personal interpretations. Gallagher describes her process as a way of transforming complex or even challenging themes into something beautiful and thought-provoking.

Gallagher has collaborated with major brands and collectors, including COAST fashion, Crown Paint, Grand Designs, Symphony of the Sea, and Cushman & Wakefield. Her art, described as “Rococo meets the Lower East Side,” is a fusion of trippy surrealism, sleek modern design, and unabashed elegance.
