John Alexander: Nature Observed

Berggruen Gallery is proud to present John Alexander, an exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by Texas-born, New York–based artist John Alexander. This show marks Alexander's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and will be on view March 12 through April 2026. The gallery will host an opening reception for the artist on Thursday, March 12, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. A detailed collection of landscapes, flora, and fauna, John Alexander's serene representational paintings portray the captivating and moody qualities of the natural world when closely observed. In reference to the nature-based consciousness he developed in his youth, Alexander depicts beautiful and rugged natural environments, both seen and imagined. Populated with diverse flora and fauna, this lush body of work reflects Alexander's reverence for the tradition of landscape painting, as practiced by Monet and the Hudson River School painters. His vivid colors and bold gestural practice imbue each painting with a heightened sense of the environments conveyed.
