Multiverse

The Multiverse series explores parallel versions of the self. Each cell holds a distinct identity operating in tandem, forming a vibrant tapestry — a visual study of how lives exist simultaneously, distinct yet deeply interconnected.

Wavefunction

Where Multiverse charts the parallel — discrete identities running in tandem — Wavefunction holds the unresolved. Each work is a single moment before observation collapses it: color, form, and gold suspended in superposition, every possibility present at once. The grid’s architecture gives way to the fluid logic of states that have not yet decided what they are.

Bloom

Inspired by nature and the cosmos, the Bloom series finds a tension between chaos and calm. Each painting gathers vivid blooms of color — energy held in stillness.

About

Alex Menenberg is a painter based in Los Angeles. Raised in Bellevue, Washington, he began his practice in parallel with his career as a CPA and expert witness in forensic accounting — a dual trajectory that informs the work’s tension between system and instinct.

His painting unfolds across three ongoing series: the gridded Multiverse, where each cell holds a distinct identity within a larger field; the fluid Wavefunction, in which color is suspended in unresolved blooms before collapsing into form; and Bloom, where vivid color gathers in clusters across the page. The work draws on themes from nature, the cosmos, and quantum physics — the structures and singularities that shape complexity at every scale.

I paint at the threshold between control and release. My day work in forensic accounting demands a kind of relentless precision — building arguments from fragments, fitting numbers to facts. Painting is where that pressure unwinds.

The Multiverse grids hold to a structure, but each cell strains against the rule. The Wavefunction paintings let go of structure entirely: I pour, watch the water decide, and try to stop before I overcorrect. Both feel like the same gesture to me — a way of looking at complexity without forcing it to resolve. Bloom came first — color held in stillness, drawn from nature and the cosmos.
