Alfie Caine (b.1996) is a British artist who lives and works in Rye, East Sussex. Caine creates architectural dreamscapes in his intricately constructed paintings, merging domestic scenes with striking natural landscapes to form environments that are idealised, yet always tinged with familiarity. His scenes are inviting and revel in the small moments of pleasure we take in daily life, lighting a candle, or admiring freshly picked flowers. Yet their surrounding imaginary, almost fantastical, interiors and landscape exude a surreality that draws us beyond daily life and into the otherworldly realm of dreams.

Caine’s background in architecture is evident in the attention to detail paid to every aspect of his work and his mastery of draftsmanship. The former Cambridge architecture student has been featured in gallery exhibitions internationally, including his inaugural solo exhibition What Lies Beyond, Union Gallery, London, UK (2021); High Humanity, Jack Siebert Projects, Paris, France (2022); and Moments of Calm, JARILAGER Gallery, Seoul, South Korea (2022).
