Alex Hohnsen
Alex Hohnsen is a Chicago-based artist, designer, and animator. They earned their undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago and recently completed a Master’s in Animation and Motion Design at DePaul University, culminating in a solo exhibition titled Meditation on Creation and Destruction: Anxiety of a Shared Resource.
The show, centered on printmaking, featured large mixed-media murals, linocut prints, collage, monoprints, risograph prints, 3D modeling, and stop-motion animations. Alex continually returns to printmaking as a medium for exploration and expression. They view printmaking as a way to celebrate creativity, and with Riso, they enjoy experimenting while pushing the boundaries between spontaneity and precision.
