Alex Gibson (b. 1994, Barbados) is a Barbadian Canadian multidisciplinary artist, based in Vancouver, BC. Contextualized by personal and cultural experiences of queer migration, their practice explores how built environments shape perception and identity. Through image, site, and space, Gibson examines shifting boundaries where time and architecture become both subject and medium for exploring the spaces between objects and bodies.
Gibson’s recent solo exhibition A hound marks its spot at Wil Aballe (Vancouver) was a selected exhibition for Capture Photography Festival 2025. Gibson has completed residencies at Fondazione Antonio Ratti (Como, Italy) and Access Gallery (Vancouver). Group exhibitions include the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery (Vancouver), and forthcoming (2026) at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art (North Vancouver) and Gallery TPW (Toronto).
Gibson has been awarded the 2025 Emerging Digital Artist Award (EQ Bank). Their work has been exhibited in Barbados, Canada, Italy, Poland, and the United States of America, and has been acquired by the Rennie Collection. Their writing has been published in Canada, Germany, and Italy. Gibson holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia.
