The Nose is a Thorn on The Side of Your Face
A kaleidoscopic assemblage of vivid, interlocking materials, this work by Alex Da Corte layers xeroxed papers, color inkjet prints, and spray paint behind Plexiglas within an ornate artist's frame. The combination of lustrous anodized metal, plush velvet, and glittering sequin pins creates a tactile tension between the handmade and the mass-produced, the glamorous and the mundane. Da Corte's maximalist approach transforms the framed surface into a dense, theatrical stage where pop imagery and material seduction collide.
