While most previous showcases have focused on Da Corte's installations, \u003ci\u003eThe Whale\u003c\/i\u003e is the first exhibition to survey his rich and eccentric relationship with painting over the past decade. As is to be expected with his irreverent approach, Da Corte paints with both traditional and unconventional materials. His \u003ci\u003eShampoo Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e are created with drugstore hair products, while his \u003ci\u003ePuffy Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e consist of upholstered neoprene. Other works include his reverse paintings on glass, most commonly used in celluloid animation and commercial sign-making. Many of these paintings are published in book form for the first time, accompanied by Da Corte's \"Voice Memos\" that elucidate his creative process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\u003c\/strong\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9.69 x 6.93 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176725659897,"sku":"9781636811604","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/vGyLhQwrM19781636811604.webp?v=1767686496","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/alex-da-corte-the-whale-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
