A portfolio of work by Alex Masket, a severely autistic 22-year-old based in New York. He may not communicate verbally, but Masket speaks forcefully through his extraordinary collages, created with everything from duct tape to press-on letters.

Artist Alex Masket is entirely self-taught and has been experimenting with color, letters, and numbers since age 2. His work has been the subject of numerous one-person and group exhibitions. Masket and his unique creative process are the focus of the award-winning documentary Breaking Boundaries: the Art of Alex Masket by filmmaker Dennis Connors. Masket lives in New York.
