Alexis Rockman, a painter based in Warren, Connecticut, is an environmental activist who began making paintings and works on paper to build environmental awareness in the mid-1980s. Embarking on expeditions to distant locations like Antarctica and Madagascar in the company of professional naturalists, his work tells stories of natural histories confronting the dystopian future of the biodiversity crisis, global warming, and genetic engineering. Rockman’s work has been exhibited around the world and showcased at prestigious galleries and museums including the Venice Biennale, Carnegie Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Serpentine Galleries. Rockman worked on the 2012 movie Life of Pi with Ang Lee as “Inspirational Artist.” Recent exhibitions include Alexis Rockman: Oceanus, a major exhibition that premiered at Mystic Seaport Museum in 2023 and is now touring. Mark Dion and Alexis Rockman: Journey to Nature’s Underworld, the first two-person exhibition of these closely allied artists, opened at the Lowe Art Museum in February 2025. The show will tour to four additional museums
