Alex Crieger is a world-reknown artist, designer and photographer. He lives and works in Los Angeles. His digital paintings have a rich and profound pictorial space that invites the viewer into it and makes him/her a silent participant of the story. His digital collaged images depict celebrities in dreamlike settings as advertisement of luxury products giving the images an original new look. Alex’s digital paintings are composed of a variety of photographic quotes, designs, drawings and special effects to create photographic images he has not always taken but collaged into new uniquely composed settings. Crieger is a photographer who makes art photographs we wish to be real. He’s created compositions of Steve McQueen or Brigitte Bardot that are more beautiful than the truth. A combination of sketches, digital effects and a spectacular design yield classic photographs that have never been photographed. For example, Brigitte still exudes in Paris and an eternally young James Dean poses for a propeller plane. Crieger has already produced several exhibitions at international art shows and galleries. Many museums of contemporary art also exhibit his work.   He studied visual communications and has worked as a photographer, director and designer for international clients in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London and Milan. His work as garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards and is produced in small editions. In addition to photography, Crieger also worked as a director and designer for international clients in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London and Milan. He has created advertisements, exhibitions and a variety of designs and large paintings. Alex Crieger even published the book American Night together with author and Golden Globe winner Michael Blake. A book full of intriguing and mysterious photos in the film noir style, with a dramatic look and powerful shadows. Joseph Beuys also painted over one of his pieces and declared it ‘best of the show’. His art is described as Pop art-style digital paintings at once realistic and impossibly dreamlike.
