Alex Hohlov (b.1985) is an Estonian-American multidisciplinary graphic artist based in Philadelphia. Deeply passionate about abstract art and design, Alex moved to Pennsylvania in 2002 to pursue a degree in graphic design, where he has since honed his craft.
"His work is a reflection of his continuous evolution, driven by experimentation with various techniques and software. His style is characterized by the use of geometric shapes and Pantone colors creating compositions that are both dynamic and intricate.
His recent focus is a series of deconstructed paintings less about what takes shape more about what unravels. Each work opens slightly to reveal what sits behind. Layers build and fall away some hold some fade. Underneath there is a quiet order shaped by geometry and simple design systems more suggested than fixed.
The paper is light at times almost translucent allowing light to pass through and bring out what lies beneath. Edges soften and the work shifts with its surroundings. They become a quiet conversation between the paper the light in the room and what you are willing to see in the gaps.
There is a loose structure like a framework that never fully settles. What is visible is only part of the image while the rest remains low and out of view. The paintings stay open changing with light and position.
For him, his art is not just about visual expression but also a meditation on the ways we engage with and interpret visual information. His work often explores the intersection of technology and fine art, creating a dialogue between the digital world and the tangible reality."
