About

Eduardo Wolfe-Alegria interprets his memories and encounters through a surrealistic lens, drawing from tropes of mythology and fantasy to create imagery that is at once anthropomorphic, phantasmagoric and psychedelic. His work seeks to remind us of our entanglements with the more than human world, its seen and unseen forces and to suggest enchantment as a means of connection and healing. He is currently researching his North and Central American ancestry, centring diasporic flora and fauna from the Americas commonly found in Australia. 

Wolfe-Alegria lives and works on Gadigal land, Sydney. He completed an MFA at Sydney College of the Arts in 2014 and has exhibited in numerous galleries around Australia since then. He has been a finalist in several prizes including the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award and has held solo exhibitions, including Opening Ceremony at Passage Gallery, Sydney. He has participated in group exhibitions at Firstdraft Gallery, Sydney and has been curated into a number of group shows including Painting Now at Michael Reid Gallery Sydney, and The Impossibility of the Real at CBD Gallery, Sydney. He exhibited a solo show Strange Meadows at OIGALL PROJECTS, Naarm/Melbourne in November 2024 and exhibited in an installation in 2025 at the Melbourne Art Fair in collaboration with OIGALL PROJECTS. In November he will undertake a three month residency at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris where he will document and respond to depictions of diasporic flora and fauna in Art Nouveau decorative art and architecture, as well as researching collections of 20th century Surrealism. His work was recently acquired for the Art Bank collection and is held in private collections nationally and internationally. He also teaches at the the School of Design, University of Technology, Sydney.
