A small room that gives you a taste of Alec's Studio and own fantastic Paradise.
A Private Paradise offers a close look at Alec DeMarco’s ongoing practice of world-building through painting and works on paper. The exhibition brings together fragments of a larger process—images that feel suspended within an evolving studio language, pointing toward a forthcoming solo presentation.
DeMarco works from lived experience, letting everyday objects and encounters slowly shift into imagery. Things collected, observed, or remembered become starting points for forms that move between recognition and invention.
Fruit, animals, and organic shapes appear throughout the works, but never as fixed symbols. Instead, they change depending on context—sometimes read as familiar, sometimes drifting into abstraction. Across the works, these motifs begin to build a quiet internal logic, where images relate through echo, repetition, and variation rather than narrative.
The title refers to a private, constructed world rather than an imagined escape. A Private Paradise is shaped from within—through attention, accumulation, and the act of looking—where everyday life becomes the material for a shifting visual environment.
