Oil Stick Nude in Cobalt IV
Oil stick on Cartridge paper 300gsm
In The Blue Series, Alexandria Coe draws upon the rich symbolic and emotional history of blue to explore the relationship between the physical body and interior experience. Historically one of the most precious pigments, blue has long carried associations with divinity, most notably through its use in depictions of the Virgin Mary. Coe reconsiders this visual tradition through a contemporary lens, presenting the female figure in a new form while preserving a sense of reverence, strength, and transcendence.
The works consider the body as both physical and emotional — distinct yet inseparable dimensions that continually shape one another and inform lived experience. Existing in a space between sadness and serenity, the figures appear immersed in their own emotional landscapes, quietly navigating the shifting currents of feeling, presence, and selfhood.

About the Artist
Alexandria Coe
Alexandria Coe is an artist known for her refined yet expressive approach to figure drawing, working fluidly across drawing, painting, and textiles. After studying Textile Design at Chelsea College of Art and completing a Master’s in Communication at Central Saint Martins, she shifted her focus to drawing as a primary mode of expression.
For the past seven years, Coe has explored the intersection of the body, art, and design, developing a practice rooted in gesture, minimalism, and emotional resonance. Coe's work often centers on the nude figure—typically drawn from life—and is characterized by abstraction and reduction. Through this minimalist lens, Coe seeks to redefine the portrayal of the female body, offering a perspective that is both intimate and intentionally neutral.
