Alexis Hunter was not only a photographer, but also a painter, especially in the last 10 years or so of her life. I first met her and exhibited her work in 2003, when running the Stuckism International gallery in Shoreditch, east London. Subsequently she became increasingly involved with the Stuckists art group, being represented in the View Two gallery for the Liverpool Biennial (2008, 2010), and The Enemies of Art in London (2011). She is featured in books about Stuckism, including An Antidote to the Ghastly Turner Prize (2010), and wrote about it on her own website.
She was a regular participant in the Stuckist demonstrations against the Turner prize outside Tate Britain and continued her photography at demonstrations and shows, as well as making portraits of the artists. The paintings she exhibited ranged from what she called "Remodernist" landscapes, through symbolism related to the earth mother, to erotic work, such as Soho Bicycles, showing two women riding large bicycle wheels with dildos round the outside. Alexis was nothing if not provocative, albeit unostentatiously so.
