Alexander Knox is an award winning Melbourne based artist whose public art projects have become a key part of of the Victorian capital’s visual landscape. In the last eight years he has produced over a dozen major public works nationally and has been the recipient of two of the most prestigious sculpture awards in Australia; the 2008 Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture and the 2006 Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award.

Knox’s diverse art practice draws on a wide range of ideas and influences from nature, history and the contemporary world. He looks for ways to communicate multi-layered ideas of place and meaning though a coded and sensorial language of light, movement and form within the public realm. His sculptural installations employ a multitude of mediums and technologies in an effort to dynamically engage with their public while exploring a sites historical, environmental and cultural context. His works include kinetic sculptures, architecturally integrated art, large free standing sculptures, programmed and interactive lighting installations and sound-scapes. Through these processes Knox explores issues relating to perception, identity and subjectivity within the immersive culture of the contemporary public spectacle.

Knox' current projects include a major kinetic sculpture for the new Melbourne’s Royal Children's Hospital, a large scale sculptural installation and light work for the National Ice Sports Centre in Melbourne’s Docklands and a free standing sculpture and light work located on Adelaide Avenue near Canberra's Capital Hill.
