ABOUT

Alex Hagentorn (b. 1990, Bucharest, Romania) is a Los Angeles-based contemporary artist, designer, and sculptor. As a USC School of Architecture alum, Hagentorn works to develop a unique visual language that conveys surreal and subconscious emotions through three-dimensional expressions, often using a combination of contemporary digital modeling and ancient production techniques.

Inspired by the artistic legacy of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, Hagentorn's work oscillates between traditional craftsmanship and technological innovation, fostering an evolving dialogue between past and future. His connection with Brâncuși stems not only from his Romanian heritage but also his artistic pursuit, aspiring to create works that evoke balance, purity of material, and other visual archetypes through the language of physical form.

Hagentorn's personal journey began amidst Bucharest's revolutionary upheaval, leading to his swift adoption after birth and relocation to Los Angeles. This formative experience has infused his creative practice with an urgency, adaptability, and a profound appreciation for life, and its beauty.

With the help of discerning collectors, designers, and supporters, Hagentorn’s sculptures have been shown in galleries, art fairs, magazines, and architectural landmarks, including the Schindler House and Philip Johnson Glass House.
