Alex Da Corte — Nosegay
Alex Da Corte

Nosegay

2015

In "Nosegay," Alex Da Corte assembles a vibrant mixed media bouquet using humble materials including foam, spray paint, sequin pins, paper, velvet, and tape, all contained within the artist's own frame. The work exemplifies Da Corte's maximalist aesthetic and playful approach to composition, combining both precious and ephemeral materials to create a work that oscillates between craft and fine art. This piece reflects the artist's broader interest in color, texture, and the decorative potential of everyday objects, transforming a traditional floral still life into a contemporary sculptural assemblage.
