Francesco Albano

Francesco Albano's interests and influences draw from a wide range of subjects, from philosophical, mystical and spiritual arguments to scientific theories, from psychological studies to real life stories. Working in plaster, clay, wax, cast resin and latex, Albano uses skin and bone as a tool of expression of societal pressures and psychological violence on the body and conscience. Francesco Albano graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Carrara, in 2000 and won the National Prize of Arts – MIUR for sculpture in 2005. Francesco had his first solo show in Milan in 2008. He lived and worked in Istanbul for five years, and now lives in Argentina. He has exhibited frequently in Europe and Central America. RKG is proud to present the first exhibition of Francesco Albano's sculpture, installation, drawing, and video in Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=478vTmTSF9M
