255Canal is now pleased to present “Inherent Bodies”, a solo exhibition by C. Alexander Häusler.

The large scale paintings shown at 255Canal inscribe body and perception into surface. Like an installation the large paintings interact with the moving observer while conquering the third dimension. With his 2-dimensional pieces C. Alexander Häusler researched the nature of paint and painting and the nature of visions using the human scale, far from pictorial references.

Further a photograph series is exhibited at 255Canal in which C. Alexander Häusler examines the body movement over time by capturing people in front of his paintings. And when the silhouettes blur and become surreal beings, the inherent imaginary quality of his abstract work reveals.

Born in Bavaria, Alexander studied sculpture and architecture in Munich and at Harvard. In 2004 he moved to New York where he works as an independent artist and architect.
