Author: Da Corte, Alex
Merging modernist colour theory and Postminimalist spatial experiments with the crowded, beautiful trash-scape of contemporary culture, Alex Da Corte addresses sexuality, invisible labour, taste, power and desire. This is the first exhibition to survey his rich and eccentric relationship with painting over the past decade. Many of these paintings are published in book form for the first time, accompanied by Da Corte’s “Voice Memos” that elucidate his creative process.As is to be expected with his irreverent approach, Da Corte paints with both traditional and unconventional materials. His Shampoo Paintings are created with drugstore hair products, while his Puffy Paintings consist of upholstered neoprene. Other works include his reverse paintings on glass, most commonly used in celluloid animation and commercial sign-making.
ISBN 9781636811604. DelMonico Books. hb. 176 pages. 103 colour, 2 b/w ills. 24.1 x 17.1 cm.
