Born in 1966 in Des Moines, Iowa, Alex Brown is a painter and designer. A follower of figurative painting, bordering on abstraction, his meticulous compositions refer to Optical Art and Pop Art.

 

The subjects of Alex Brown’s paintings are found in the press or on the internet. He subsequently decomposes them by applying imaginary frameworks or exaggerated pixilation, then once re-focusing the image within a virtual composition it is realised in the most classic of media, oil paint.

 

Alex Brown’s work has been exhibited, most notably at the MoMA PS1. It has also been shown at the galleries Feature Inc. (New York), Blondeau F.A.S. (Geneva) and Minmin (Tokyo). His work is included in several public collections in the US and across Europe and in 2000 he was awarded the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award.

 

On 4th February 2016, Galerie Triple V inaugurated its second exhibition space on 5, rue du Mail, in the second arrondissement of Paris close to Place des Victoires.

 

Made up of a vast hall of 30m long and 13m wide, a total surface area of 500m2 with a ceiling height of 4m, this new exhibition space finds itself in an old fabric factory, and preserves the industrial aspect.

 

It is in this highly creative area that the gallery can bring its resolutely contemporary touch to a privileged space which also sees the instalment of its first contemporary art gallery.

Galerie Triple V has been working since 2007 to present both French and international contemporary artists from various generations and aesthetic horizons to abstract, conceptual, pop and minimalist approaches.
