Bismark Alejandro Rex

Lives and works in Houston Heights, Houston, TX, USA

Artist statement

An interdisciplinary artist merging painting, sculpture and architecture studies through the breaking down of boundaries of what is considered a work of art. This is expressed in an intuitive creative process through the use of discarded mundane objects and salvaged materials, being guided by what an environment can reveal when one knows how to seek. A vital recurring theme in his works is a deep-rooted quest for identity, having dual nationality between Mexico and the US and experiencing both cultures existentially. Inherent with a native instinct to push the limits and finding a sense of freedom, his artworks embody that of a neo-shaman wandering through the simulacra of buildings, paved ground, lush forests and serpentine bayous in our paradoxical landscapes of the metropolis.
