Alex Urso

Alex Urso (b. 1987) is an Italian artist living and working in Warsaw (Poland). He works predominantly in the medium of collage and assemblage. In his practice Urso is very often interacting with authors from the past. Through the dislocation of forms and figures of the Tradition, he brings forth fragments of past artworks into present, creating an “anachronistic” interaction with them.

With each of these elements (authors or scraps of works) he plays with irony, interacting to create a dialogue that calls into questions the authenticity of art history as has been passed down, namely as a succession of certain and creditable events.
