Alex da Corte - reviving the dreams through the art

A magical blend of forms, colors, and characters

Art is a creation of what is, what is not, and what could be, an imagination of one's mind that mocks reality, changes, and reshapes it. By conveying ideas not only through sculptures and paintings but through sound, performances, and videos Alex da Corte creates stories that simultaneously flow and standstill. 

Wanting to make sense of the society of America, he draws inspiration from the existing forms and characters and places them into his own dreams - the surreal, immersive environments.

Fragments of popular and consumer culture, modern design, art history, and commercial advertisement alongside a personal narrative complete the hypnotic large-scale installations. Acting as Pink Panther, Eminem, Wicked Witch of the West..., Alex da Corte takes the characters out of the original context and creates a beautiful transition that radiates comedy, criticism, and a glimpse of confusion. With flashing neon lights and colorful carpets, he draws the audience into his world that could and does exist. 

Reimagining the ‘known’, and carving the ‘new’ Alex da Corte is rising not only as an artist but as a showman whose work captivates you as a whole. He has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Vienna, Philadelphia, and many other major art cities, and will surely continue to explore the contemporary art language and extract the creations from reality.
