Francesco Albano

Selected Work

Francesco Albano (1976) works and lives in Palermo, Italy. He currently teaches Plastica Ornamentale at the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo, Italy. The media he uses includes sculpture, drawing, collage, assemblage and video. 

“I have a strong attraction to deformity as the expression of the physical and mental decadence of the human body. I strive to depict those fleeting moments of personal collapse that modify the mind and the body, causing a breach between muscle, bone, and skin. An emotional breakdown, witness to a division caused by external pressure, is a collapse of intangible weight, and yet so overwhelming that the body is modified and crushed. On a visual level, deformity has its roots firmly planted in reality, in the memory and sensation of the tragic and ironic condition of human existence.”
