About
Not From Around Here is Alexa Samuels’ love letter to her hometown of Toronto and other places she’s visited. Her art celebrates urban streetscapes by shining unconventional light on hidden corners, back alleys, architectural underbellies and everyday landscapes’ seeming mundaneness. Her art turns iconic landmarks on their heads and rejoices in unsung street art. What begins as panoramic landscape photographs, Samuels’ images twist and turn, transforming into visuals that surprise, baffle and yet feel reassuringly familiar.
