Alex Couwenberg, "Medicine Man," acrylic on canvas over panel, 32 x 30"
|
|
|
|
"The additive and reductive processes of my painting reveal compositions of densely layered forms and patterns that weave in and out of each other, suggesting space, time, and the moment." — Alex Couwenberg
Alex Couwenberg's acrylic paintings reflect his fastidious attention to detail and his obsession over process. Through a constant investigation of materials and process, Couwenberg's paintings are informed by the visual landscape of his native Los Angeles. Mid-century design, furniture, architecture, surf and skateboard culture, color and graphics, as well as hard-edge abstraction all play a role in his work. The paint, pin striping, and finish associated with hot rod and custom car culture also impact the aesthetic of his paintings. Couwenberg's newest work embraces the V-shaped chevron form, whose sharp edges are incorporated seamlessly into the overall geometric style of the paintings. Composed and orchestrated in a manner that suggests architecture, geometry, and design, Couwenberg's paintings constantly pursue the balance between intuition and control.

Jacques Villeglé, "Rue du Cotentin," 1958, décollage mounted on canvas, 22 1/2 x 16 1/8"
|
Jacques Villeglé
Décollages from 1956-2000
|
|
|
Through April 28, 2018
|
|
|
Villeglé sees a social complexity in the developments in the style, typography and subject of the source posters. He also considers the processes of the overlaying and the pealing of the posters by passers-by to be a manifestation of a liberated art of the street. Both aspects are implicitly social and political.
