BIO

Alex Elbers is a contemporary mixed media artist born in 1986 in Venray and based in Eygelshoven, the Netherlands. His practice centers on material control, perception, and construction, working primarily with self made inks and oil paints on layered and cut canvas.Best known for intricate, multilayered compositions built through cutting, stacking, and reconstructing canvas fragments. These physical interventions generate depth, tension, and shifting light interactions that change with the viewer’s position. The work is deliberate and labor intensive, prioritizing structure, surface, and perception over gesture or narrative.A key method within his practice has been dubbed Refracted Memories. Rather than illustrating memory, this approach investigates how fragmented color, pattern, and texture can activate residual emotional responses. Certain visual elements resurface a feeling without resolving into imagery, leaving perception incomplete and open.Alongside this, Elbers develops In Situ With You, an ongoing series that responds directly to place, scale, and moment. These works are shaped by their environment, allowing context to influence material choices, composition, and structure. Each piece functions as a record of presence, emphasizing the relationship between the work, the space it occupies, and the viewer.Elbers’ visual language draws from natural forms and systems of disruption and concealment. His work avoids figuration, narrative, and symbolic storytelling, focusing instead on constructed abstraction and the mechanics of seeing.His work is held in private national and international collections.
