About

Why this artist matters now

Alex Da Corte works across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, and video, building immersive environments that fold popular culture and art history into layered, often unsettling registers of contemporary life. His practice moves freely between media, treating each as equally capable of holding conceptual weight. The work is marked by a heightened attention to color, surface, and familiar iconography, pushing everyday imagery into uncanny or charged territory.
