Alex Da Corte

Fresh Hell

Life is saturated with visually appealing images that operate on the human psyche and try to visualise things that normally go unseen: emotions, time, and space. Alex Da Corte is known for playing with familiar objects and icons in his work, deconstructing and reconstructing their original meanings. He draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including popular and consumer culture, art history and design, sampling American visual culture through video, sculpture, painting, and installation. Da Corte’s attention to vivid colour and form is evident, and familiar motifs become dense, graceful assemblages. Fresh Hell is the first institutional exhibition of Da Corte’s work in Asia.
