Alex Coma (b. Granby, QC, 1991) is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher and seeker. Following the traces of humanistic and symbolistic artists such as Joseph Beuys and Carl Jung, his work is a testimony of his inner life and Findings. He draws from the symbolic history of an elite and secretive class, borrowing on cryptograms, esoteric concepts and rituals found in the written legacy of ancient texts. Coma applies the logic and vernacular of the semiotician, following tenuous but poetic connections between his inner self and larger concepts that are said to exist on the spiritual plane.
Whether or not a particular connection can be proven is secondary to the kernel of truth that lies in the impulse to seek it. At the heart of his practice is a longing, or a prayer, for an essential truth that may never be told. Follow Alex on Instagram: @alexcoma.world & www.alexcoma.world for more.
