Alex Marks
Alex Marks (b. 1978, Toronto) is a Canadian-American painter whose practice investigates the metaphysical dimensions of identity and the subconscious. A graduate of OCAD University’s Fine Arts program, Marks works at the intersection of naturalism and abstraction, employing a vivid, gestural palette to construct compositions that oscillate between the familiar and the uncanny.
In 2025, Origin signals a return to abstraction, this time through a more elemental lens. This series engages with gesture, colour, and movement to access a deeper, intuitive register. Origin suggests a space before language and form—a primal field in which subconscious rhythms emerge.
