As an artist deeply rooted in contemporary expression, ALBEN uses this exhibition to bridge the gap between the past and the present, aiming to provoke contemplation on spatiotemporal exploration.
His goal is to transport viewers through time and space with his sculptures and paintings,
offering an experience that is both surprising and introspective.
Formerly specializing in aerospace resins, ALBEN now passionately sculpts and collects toys.
By merging ancient techniques with modern Pop art,
he creates works that evoke nostalgia while addressing pressing contemporary issues.
Influenced by street art, ALBEN cleverly incorporates iconic references from history, pop culture, and art,
juxtaposing them with everyday objects to challenge perceptions.
Additionally, the exhibition showcases a selection of his mixed-media canvases.
This exhibition will also be an opportunity to discover around ten canvases created by the artist,
combining various mediums, supports, and techniques.
ALBEN’s work serves as both homage and critique,
inviting viewers to engage in dialogue and offering insightful commentary on the current era.
Don’t miss this dynamic exhibition,
a journey through space and time!
