An examination of his career is worthwhile and contributes to a direct understanding of the artistic work. Dunn was born in Glasgow, first attended Bualnaluib Primary School, a Gaelic elementary school in the Scottish Highlands. He then transferred to Fortrose Academy in northeast Inverness. He completed his schooling at the University of Aberdeen. Dunn graduated with honors. No, it was not an art degree. Dunn was studying economic history!
An explanation to his later vocation can be found in his childhood. The artist's parents were both creatively active, and even as a young boy he was exposed to extensive creative craftsmanship and theoretical art knowledge. His mother worked with clay and made ceramics. The father taught art and art history. This "private" apprenticeship, parallel to his schooling, paved the way for his later fields of activity. Dunn began painting while still in college. After graduation, he worked in a variety of fields. He was a porter in a hospital, a fisherman on Loch Maree, at times he worked as an assistant to a castle administrator. Throughout his career, his attachment to his native Scotland remains striking. So also in later activities and business relations. He joins the management of Cromartie Timber, a joinery company that uses only Scottish timber to make beams, studs and panels. Dunn also establishes his own company in the Scottish Highlands, Ardival Harps. Here, historic and traditional harps have been made since 1992. All these activities shape the artist and explain the diversity of his work. Dunn works sculpturally with wood, shows abstract compositions and experiments with geometric color figures. His visual language ranges from minimalist lines to expressive symbolism. Usually a theme develops into a series. This can be seen in the Circle sheets: "Red Circle", "Black Circle" and "Red Circle in Blue". The lines of these circles seem to wander, seem alive. One image seems to generate the next. Dunn plays with this theme, interpreting it further. The Circles then break up and form a segmental shape.
What symbolic power can be in everyday objects, show works such as "A Very Still Life", "Caught" or "Jug's Rupture". Here, geometric color surfaces and signs are varied in the background of the picture. In the foreground strikingly depicted, the black silhouettes of kitchen utensils and tools. Both interpret the respective theme of the picture. Common to all sheets is a clear color language. Primary colors form the focal point. These color areas are broken up by crystal-like networks. Dunn works for these sheet sequences with colored papers, with charcoal and colored pencils on cardboard. Alex Dunn has been and continues to be exhibited primarily in Scotland, at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute, at Visual Arts Scotland. He also demonstrates his loyalty to his homeland through his contributions to the Highland art community.
