For his distinctive hybrid works, Albano uses a meat slicer to cut fragments of clay and repurposed materials (including recycled paper, cardboard, aluminium, plaster, acrylic, plastics, EVA foam and glass). Layering each slice meticulously, Albano creates compositions that challenge traditional categorizations of artistic media and blur the boundaries between painting, sculpture and installation. Trash/Value offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between art, sustainability, and systems of production and consumption. By transforming discarded materials into compelling multi-disciplinary works, Albano challenges traditional notions of value and invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with waste.
