We are pleased to share that Alex Puz has been featured in New American Paintings, Issue 178, a significant recognition of his rigorous practice and continued contribution to contemporary abstraction.
Published since 1993, New American Paintings has established itself as one of the most respected platforms for emerging and mid-career artists working in painting across North America, with each juried issue selected by leading curators, critics, and museum directors. Inclusion in the magazine represents a meaningful milestone in an artist's career, providing critical visibility and institutional recognition within the contemporary art landscape.
Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Puz draws on color theory and perceptual studies to investigate the psychophysical effects of color, exploring optical tension through systematically composed linear fields that probe the threshold between visual stimulus and affective response. His work examines how chromatic relationships generate perceptual instability, foregrounding the neurological processing of color as a site of aesthetic inquiry. This inclusion positions his practice within a broader dialogue around contemporary abstraction and confirms the critical attention his work continues to receive.
