Alex Turco - Red Marilyn

Alex Turco's work is inspired by a Pop aesthetic for the use of icons of mass culture and the reflection on the possibility of serial reproduction of works of art, developing innovative techniques with his experience as a graphic designer.

The work clearly exemplifies Alex Turco's language, poised between mass imagery and reflections on reproduction techniques. The image of Marilyn Monroe, the quintessential pop icon, pervades the entire composition, and it is on this surface that Turco's graphic elaboration unfolds. The diva's face is reconfigured with a pictorialism that, unlike Italian Pop Art, is not expressionist. Rather, it is a graininess of the image, almost pixelation, which occurs when the file is not of high quality. In some areas, small ink smudges are also visible. The artist's intention is to accentuate the graphic, mechanical nature of the work.

Alex Turco, an artist of Friulian origins, born in 1979. He lives and works in Miami. He is an art designer who practices an extraordinary combination of material, photography, and multimedia graphics to create large decorative panels for homes.
