Alex Da Corte

divide line Alex Da Corte

Alex Da Corte is a Phladelphia-based artist who has studied film, fine art, and printmaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York and Philadelphia�s University of the Arts. Each of the disciplines he has studied manifests itself in his varied artworks. Much of Alex�s current work started with wheat-pasting pictures of people carrying enormous ketchup bottles around the Philadelphia. This work was tied to an investigation of the everyday diner as a heaven-like environment. After dying on April Fool�s Day from a rare medical condition and permanently losing his intestines, the artist�s work changed greatly, though it still held on to some earlier religious themes. His new work utilizes a mixed-media approach, dealing with imagery of colostomy bags, Clark Gable, birthdays, snakes, and dead horses.
