About The Artwork

WATER // LIGHT - EXPLORATIONS OF NATURAL FORM The topic of this series - Water and Light - examines the fundamental building blocks of life, their raw power, beautiful symmetry, and variety of textures. In this new series of triptychs, natural elements serve as the pallet for abstract expressionist compositions. These pieces consist of transitory moments captured in various remote locations throughout Iceland. The focus is on the minuté, the most basic aspects of life, rather than on the grand vistas surrounding these moments. From hundreds of frames captured in each location, the artist carefully selects and manipulates individual frames into a unified whole, which showcase the subtly beauty of natural form. The compositions operate in the same fashion as the canvases of Abstract Expressionist painters of the 1970s, seemingly drawing order out of chaos. While the finished compositions operate in an expressionistic style, they are profoundly modern in their approach to the subject. There is a direct correlation to the work Harold Edgartons' early explorations into freezing motion. Each still frame is a high speed capture of 1/6400 of a second, capturing formations of water normally not visible to the human eye.

Alex was raised in Germany and moved to the United States at the age of 11. He received his BFA from the Art Institute of Boston with a focus on alternative photographic process. After working in the New England art world and having several exhibitions, he moved to Los Angeles to work as gallery director at Gallery Luisotti. His work there with American New Topographics photographers and European students of Bernd and Hilda Becher would go on to inform his own future works. Returning to New York to pursue commercial photography he worked with clients ranging from MoMA to top restaurants, boutique hotels, and emerging musicians. He would eventually take a position as Steve Aoki's tour photographer, traveling the world with the famous Dj and documenting his exploits. His travels eventually brought him to Iceland where he fell in love with the dramatic beauty of its volcanic landscape. The Water / / Light series was born during this time, influenced by the drastic fluctuation of light in the far northern latitude, as well as the abundance of drastic and diverse water sources. Since then he has been pursuing this series throughout his travels and turning his focus to more political landscapes of water.
