Dwayne Alistair

Dwayne Alistair is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative expression spans acting, visual arts, film, writing, and music. Since 2001, he has built a diverse portfolio, from on-screen roles to published books and abstract expressionist paintings.

As a visual artist, Alistair's work delves into Abstract Expressionism. He views the style not as a simple label but as a gateway to the subconscious, creating pieces that invite deep introspection. His art seeks to mirror the viewer's own personality, asking profound questions about passion and the organized chaos of life. Recently, his work was featured at the Arts'tination National Harbor Gallery in Washington D.C. for the "Breakthrough" exhibition.

Alistair has an extensive on-screen career with roles in acclaimed series such as FX's The Americans, for which he was considered for an Emmy, HBO's We Own This City and The Knick, AppleTV's Bad Monkey, and STARZ's Hightown. His work also extends behind the camera, where he has shot and edited multiple films, including Jokes: Anger Management, My Suicide Letter (Revisited), and Conflagration, all of which are streaming on Amazon Prime.

His creative talents also manifest in the literary world, with three published books: One Bright Day in the Middle of the Night, Trinity, God, and All the Rest, and Prometheus the Gemini. As a musician, he embraces creative freedom, consistently releasing albums like This Book Belongs to Nat King Kong and Active Meditations on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. For Dwayne Alistair, the journey of an artist is one of continuous learning and evolution.
