Aléa book by LX One

Date: 2019
Author: Erwann Lameignère

This is a journey through the materials and techniques that LX One, whose real name is Alex Bloch (born in Strasbourg in 1979), has patiently developed since his beginnings some twenty years ago. The result is a prolific body of work from which his passion for geometric patterns emerges. This practice is part of an ambition that is already a century old, whether it be that of op art—optical art—of course, but also, more broadly, constructivism, minimalism, the De Stijl movement, or even neoplasticism or brutalism.
