Alex Wixted is an Artistic Blacksmith based in Brisbane, who uses steel like ink and transforms it into a medium for storytelling. His work explores the fluid nature of a solid element through a blend of traditional blacksmithing techniques and modern artistic innovation, resulting in unique forged sculptural works.

Drawing from nature, the human experience, and the role blacksmithing has played in his own sense of self, Wixted’s works reflect the resilience and complexity of both metal and spirit. Wixted’s sculptures invites viewers to discover through fire and embedded in steel that which is often ephemeral, dismissed or misunderstood in life.
