Alexander Wertheim German, b. 1995

Lives and works in Berlin 

Alexander was born in Wertheim, Germany, studied at the Berlin University of the Arts with Manfred Pernice as well as painting at Hunter College in New York. 

Over the course of ten years, he experimented with various painterly concepts, including the production of paper streamers, paintings of tablecloths, and the practice of a hyperrealist style that ultimately evolved into his most characteristic work: spray-painted lines on primed canvases. 

Central aspect of Wertheim’s paintings is the intersection of vertical and horizontal entities—a principle he deems fundamental to everything.
