BIOGRAPHY
Alex Körner (1979), a multidisciplinary visual artist, was born, lives, and works in São Paulo, Brazil.
Creating narratives that explore color, form, and volume, Körner began his trajectory with ephemeral compositions captured through photography, always attentive to the codes that shape our relationships.
A self-taught artist, he started experimenting with installations, photography, drawing, and advertising, having been mentored by Julia Demeter and Adriano Franchini, and currently by Fernando Soares.
His current research employs a liquid assemblage technique, giving form to intangible aspects of human behavior and transforming choices, sensations, and emotions into translucent fragments. Today, the ephemeral gives way to materiality — singular bodies that resist time.
CONCEPTUAL STATEMENT
The liquid assemblage technique emerges from Alex Körner’s investigation into creating a new materiality capable of giving form to human behavior — understood here as the reflection of the environment upon us.
The process involves mixing beverages with transparent glue compounds, which undergo a curing period until the liquid evaporates. These surfaces, though thin, become surprisingly resistant and translucent, preserving within their structure the record of time, gesture, and the reactions between matter and environment.
Each surface is singular — the result of subtle variations in density, temperature, humidity, and gesture. Like human behaviors, no two form in the same way, and each carries within it the memory of the instant in which it was created. More than a technical experiment, this practice is a sensitive investigation into the ways the environment passes through us and materializes within us.
