Listening: On New Work by Alex Couwenberg BY MONICA LYNNE MAHONEY Afterword BY BRUNO L. DAVID CHECKLIST AND IMAGES OF THE EXHIBITION BIOGRAPHY
LISTENING: ON NEW WORK BY ALEX COUWENBERG BY MONICA LYNNE MAHONEY Alex Couwenberg is a master alchemist. He is a seer, with an expertise inextricably linked to the power of visual language, a language that he has studied, developed, and practiced as a painter and art educator. His mastery is rooted in his ability to recall the volumes of lessons he has learned from dedicating his life to perfecting his craft. He is a painter’s painter: his work speaks to the materiality of paint, the layering, and the revealing and concealing of one action, one stroke over another, orchestrating a sometimes sharp and sometimes subtle game of opposites in color, texture, line, form, discipline and freedom. And for one year, while at the top of his game, Couwenberg took a giant leap forward by stepping back from the work, from the profession, from the practice, and simply listened. During Couwenberg’s painting sabbatical he listened from his heart and from his self-prescribed immersion in nature, making personal and professional decisions from a place of renewal that has ultimately lead to his newest, most elegant body of work. As each layer, stroke and block of color are viewed and experienced, it becomes clear that the elegance stems from his courageous willingness to leave the work and gain new insights from the people and places that matter most: his family, his long-time mentor and celebrated painter Karl Benjamin, who passed away during this time, and perhaps most profoundly, his beloved refuge: the ocean. In every remarkable choice, Couwenberg draws upon the new vocabulary he gained by listening. When the time came to reenter the studio, Couwenberg attended to freeing himself by working with the intimacy of acrylic on paper. This less temperamental medium allowed him to liberate his intrinsic drive to test the visual gift he is celebrated for in his monumental works on panel in just a fraction of the space. In the very first piece: Tideline, he guts the lozenge and ditches the cube, abandons the architectonic and summons the sensuous, yet formidable rhythms of nature, purposefully working them into the painted surface. The scalloped shapes push and pull over the relaxed textures of coral and aqua, like the tide reinventing itself, over and over again. The painting is pure beauty, offering itself as a harbor in our oftentimes-difficult world. The series takes an unexpected turn with the second piece: Kodiak, where the “swell” motif emerges in a palette of blacks, whites and grays—revealing Couwenberg’s laboratory for experimenting
with an almost undetectable gestural sweep together with bold, jagged edges. Couwenberg continues to move forward by joining opposing forces in Darby. His keen ability to play among layers is apparent here, especially in the swift gestures of under-painting, perhaps implying a turbulent relationship to the ephemeral abyss of the ocean while anchoring to the hot temperature of earth. The transition from paper to canvas occurs sharply with Castaway. A robustly narrative work, Castaway is infused with the hand of the artist, speaking of the moment when Couwenberg fully commits to the gestural sweep. Requiring an involvement of the whole body, not just the wrist, or mind, Couwenberg’s richly textured gestures awaken the relatively intimate size of the work. The reemergence of his signature mid-century architectonic shapes are equally noteworthy here: Couwenberg composes and edits the line with such precision that when viewed against the abundant gesture, it places us simultaneously inside and outside of the painting. The adventure continues with Axiom where we see a groundbreaking expansion into the realm of light. Through pulling larger, more ambitious strokes of pearlescent paint across the canvas, the work reaches a level of translucency not previously seen within his entire creative repertoire. The levels of luminosity in the work shift according to the light source and time of day. “Light becomes a medium maker”, says the artist, meaning that yet another ephemeral quality of the natural world activates his work. From listening to the light as a mode of exploring movement and translucency in Axiom, to employing a greater involvement of the physical gesture in Castaway to experimenting with the scalloped and swell-like shapes of the ocean, as seen in Tideline, Couwenberg’s new work provides an immediate oasis in a world filled with adversity. Taking time away from the work brought the artist closer to it. He infused it with the energy of renewal and with the generous vocabulary that he built simply by listening. Couwenberg’s knowledge and respect for his painting process, together with his raw investigative nature, compliment the new works and provide a vehicle for our own inquiry of freedom.

AFTERWORD BY BRUNO L. DAVID
I am pleased to present a new exhibition titled “SWELL” by Los Angeles based painter Alex Couwenberg at the gallery. Couwenberg’s new paintings explore “process” and the “moment” through tightly controlled compositions of paint and mark making. Born and raised in Southern California, Couwenberg creates images that are inspired by the elements indigenous to his surroundings. The work references and suggests the aesthetic associated with mid-century modernism, car culture, skateboards, and surfing. Not to leave out, paying homage to the historical styles of post-war art making associated with Los Angeles and Southern California throughout the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Couwenberg’s paintings give a nod towards the Hard-edge abstractionists, the finish fetish, and the light and space artists. Not content to replicate, he uses the sensibility of Eames-era design and hard-edge geometric abstraction as points of departure for creating paintings. His process, an additive and reductive series of moves and passes, creates multilayered environments that are deep and sensual. He harnesses these ideas into harmonious results, reflecting the visual landscape of his local environment. Couwenberg received his B.F.A. from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California and his M.F.A. from the Claremont Graduate School, Claremont, California. He has exhibited his work nationally and internationally. He lives and works in Los Angeles. Support for the creation of significant new works of art has been the core to the mission and program of the Bruno David Gallery since its founding in 2005. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Monica Lynne Mahoney for her thoughtful essay. I am deeply grateful to Yoko Kiyoi and Christy Kirk, who gave much time, talent, and expertise to the production of this catalogue. Invaluable gallery staff support for the exhibition was provided by, Martin Lang, Christy Kirk, Sophie Lipman, Ashley Milow, and Nicole Fry.
