Alex Couwenberg Exhibition in Claremont California

William Turner Gallery is pleased to share that an exhibition of Alex Couwenberg's paintings, "ALPENGLOW", opens November 14 from 6-9PM at Claremont Heritage’s Ginger Elliott Exhibition Center.

About the artist: Born and raised in Southern California, Alex Couwenberg creates vibrant, multilayered paintings inspired by the region’s distinctive visual culture - from modernist architecture and mid-century design to music, transportation, and the surrounding landscape.

Drawing on the traditions of Southern California Hard-edge abstraction, Finish Fetish, and Light and Space art, Couwenberg combines bold geometric forms, rich color, and meticulously worked surfaces to create compositions that are both structured and expressive.

A graduate of ArtCenter College of Design and Claremont Graduate University, Couwenberg studied under renowned painter Karl Benjamin, whose influence helped shape his artistic philosophy and dedication to craft and process.

His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in numerous public, private, and museum collections, including the Laguna Art Museum, Crocker Art Museum, and Long Beach Museum of Art. In 2007, he received the prestigious Joan Mitchell Foundation Award for his achievements in painting.
