Álex Marco

About

Lives and works in Valencia, Spain

Álex Marco is a visual artist. His artistic practice revolves around video essay, installation and painting; disciplines he uses to reinterpret the city and surroundings, perceiving both as mediums that can be altered by pictorial habits, constructions and modifications in space through determination. His work represents and connects with consequences of the most essential social attitudes, on how to inhabit the spaces and waste left behind, such as fluids, spills, even stains, lines or drawings that close to being invisible, coexist permanently.

The artist has participated in institutional and gallery projects in Spain, Germany, Portugal, Mexico and the USA; as well as in different art fairs such as ARCO (Spain), ARTBO (Colombia), ART BRUSSELS (Belgium) or ARTISSIMA (Italy). Marco also has works in many institutional and private collections in the United States, Switzerland, France, Italy, Norway, Greece, China and Spain.
