Bruno David Gallery: Friday, 9 May 2008
ALEX COUWENBERG: Working Space
Opening Reception: Friday, May 9, from 6 to 9 pm
April 25 – May 31, 2008
Bruno David Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles based painter Alex Couwenberg. The subject matter in his work comes from a deep appreciation of the aesthetic associated with the Southern California culture. The paint, pin striping, and finish associated with hot rod and custom car culture all show up as influences in his work. Mid-century design, furniture, and architecture, surf and skateboard culture, color and graphics, geometric and hard-edge abstraction, and the love of craft and technique all fuel the work.
In the Project Room, Shawn Burkard, a young artist from St. Louis is showing his recent work in an exhibition titled “Over and over and over”. Burkard's work has been variously described as Pop Art, because of its source from functional objects and incorporation of commercial and industrial materials; and as Minimal Art, because of its geometric forms and solid presence.
In the New Media Room, multidisciplinary artist Jill Downen premieres a short video titled “Cornerstone”. Downen, known for her white on white wall installations of abstracted bodily forms emerging from architecture, continues to draw on the
idea that the human body shares an interdependent relationship to buildings. The three-minute video zooms in on a stack of real bricks on the artist’s own body.
GALLERY HOURS:
Wed –Sat 10:00 – 5:00pm
