Alex Puz (b. 1989 Long Beach, CA) is a painter who works in Baltimore, MD. His painting practice focuses on color study, optics and linear abstractions to explore the gap between emotion and cognition. Puz's process oriented painting practice systematizes color and line resulting in dense and ornate chromatic fields. He holds a BFA in Studio Art from CUNY Hunter College ('14) and an MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Yale School of Art ('22.) Alex Puz is a 2017 Rema Hot Mann Foundation Nominee and 2022 recipient of the YPEI Teaching Fellowship. In 2023-24 he was a Cohort 05 Studio Fellow in Titus Kaphar's NXTHVN fellowship based in New Haven, CT. He will participate in the 2024-25 edition of the Interdisciplinary Art and Theory Program. His work has been written about in Vogue Magazine, The Yale Daily News, on liveart.io and is featured in ArtMaze Magazine. His work is included in the collection of JP Morgan Chase and Yale Health. Selected exhibitions include "Double Down" at The Campus, "Vibrant Matters" at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery (NYC), "No Light Without Shadows" at Thierry Goldberg (NYC), "Elán Vital" at MoCA CT, "Spirit Rift" at Underdonk (NYC) and "Forgetting is Remembering" in Seoul, Korea with Gallery Simon. |
