Alexander Reilly
Alexander Reilly is a children’s writer, print-maker, curator and painter living and working in Ranelagh, Dublin. He was born in 1979. He currently works as the curator of the Ranelagh Arts Centre and arts festival. Until recently, he was the artistic director of the same centre and festival but took a step back to concentrate on his own creative practices. Alexander spent from 2006 to 2011 living between London, India and Nepal. In India, he taught English to Tibetan ex political prisoners. He also gave classes in painting and creative writing to the inmates of the Central Jail in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh. When he was not teaching his time was divided between painting and writing. Alexander researched his book: The Maharajah, The Spy, The Giant and The Robot while living in Jaipur, Rajasthan. It is set in the fictional Badera Market which is based on the Pink City in Jaipur. It is the first in a series. Every aspect of Indian life, history, culture, religion, etc. has been painstakingly checked and double checked for accuracy. Alexander wrote this book with a view to it being accessible to both western and Indian children. In 2003, while studying at Dublin’s National College of Art & Design, Alexander became one of the founding members of Defastenism: Irelands first international art movement and the worlds second remodernist movement. He curated the first ever Defastenist show in Dublin. By 2004, Defastenism was the official sister movement of the London-based Stuckists. Alexander and the other artists engaged in a three-year exhibition tour that included shows in Dublin, Limerick, Galway, London, Paris and Berlin. Alexander resigned from Defastenism late in 2006. The movement disbanded shortly there after. He still exhibits regularly nationally and internationally.

Although Alexander is far better known as a visual artist he has always been an avid reader and has been writing and telling stories for most of his life. This is the first time he has sought publication. He was diagnosed with dyslexia in his early twenties and although it never affected his ability to read, until his mid twenties, his spelling remained quite poor. With spell-check and a little help proof reading and editing from his friends Alexander feels that he has overcome these issues completely. He prefers to develop his writing socially with writers and readers he knows rather than to participate in creative writing courses.
