49th Annual Bi-State Winner Invitational Exhibition – Alexa Lee

Please join us Saturday, September 7, 2024, from 1 to 3 p.m. for a special reception for Alexa Lee, Best of Show winner of the 49th Annual Bi-State Competition and Exhibition. This exhibition will be on display until September 28, 2024.

Alexa Lee is a painter and ceramic artist based in Birmingham, AL. She has been featured in multiple exhibitions across the southeast United States, including the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art, The Meridian Museum of Art, and the Gadsden Museum of Art. She studied at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and graduated with a BFA degree in 2024.

Alexa’s work focuses on memory and how it imbeds itself into the body and mind. She primarily works in the genre of narrative figure painting in a style influenced by artists of the aesthetic and romantic movements, including James McNeill Whistler and John William Waterhouse. She is also a ceramicist and uses clay to create functional vessels and sculptures that imply narrative within their form and express the fragile nature of the human condition.

Meridian Museum of Art is supported by its members and patrons, the city of Meridian, the Phil Hardin Foundation, the Mississippi Arts Commission, the Riley Foundation, the Community Foundation of East Mississippi, and the Paul and Sherry Broadhead Foundation.

The museum is located at 628 25th Avenue. Museum public hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is always free.  For more information, contact Caleb Phillips at 601-693-1501 or meridianmuseum@bellsouth.net.
