Name of Event: The Opening Reception of After the Flood by Alex Stark
Date and Time of Event:  Sunday May 3rd 2-5pm

Location of Event: Guild Room

Attend the opening  reception for After the Flood by Alex Stark on Sunday, May 3rd, from 2:00-5:00pm.

After the Flood is a collection of works made both before and after a flood in the artist’s studio. Stark began making a new body of collages in which he began covering parts of his previous salvaged paintings. Collaging on Stark's former damaged works becomes an act of revival, highlighting the resilience and ability of the body to adapt. The figures are ornamented and adorned in a way that is expressive of the relationship to these divine forms. The collaged imagery is photographic, combining and recontextualizing images of food, animals, architecture and nature into Stark’s own narrative, based around the body. These unconventional figures in crowded scenes form a sensory relationship with the viewer.

As a disabled queer artist, Stark’s work contemplates his own body and the manifestation and idea of belonging in a place. Physicality is central to his work through play with different materials that integrate drawing, painting and collage with an emphasis on visible mark-making.  A language and narrative is developed around figures’ natural and vulnerable state of nudity and their expressive poses that often relate to the spaces they occupy.
