About the Artist
Alex Coronel is an American contemporary artist who works primarily in painting and installation, but is also active in sculpture, illustration, animation, film, poetry, and other mediums. A lot of his work is based in conceptual art containing aspects of minimalism, abstract expressionism, design, pop art, and surrealism. Playfulness is crucial when it comes to his
work. It has aided his evolution of strictly being an abstract painter into becoming a multimedia artist.
Artist Statement
Presentation is key, however if I give too much focus on presentation too early on and not enough on the idea itself, I'll start to repeat myself in a way that feels artificial to me. At times, only after the idea is strong enough, repetition appears but does so out of necessity.
My main inspirations right now are history, short attention spans, the state of the world/country, short attention spans, and the evolution of digital art.
The Austin Studio Tour is a program of Big Medium.
