Built with Berta

  1. Vincenzo Albano is a painter based in London.

    Vincenzo was born in Italy in 1981 and decided to escape very soon from there. He began painting twelve years ago, finding inspiration through Amsterdam, Glasgow, Venice and Lisbon, intensifying the production recently as his travels increased.

    Although the subjects and style are heterogeneous, it is possible to identify a constant return to the invention and creation of new worlds' landscapes. Next to a more realistic description of the subject, the landscape is reworked in his works and lived with a more fantastic and dreamlike approach.

    Two travel experiences seemed to have marked the path of recent times in different ways: a stay in Lisbon and one in Burkina Faso. The Portuguese capital, long-lived also in terms of imagery, in the paintings of Vincenzo becomes a place that evokes feelings and life experiences, while Africa has experienced a more introspective point of view. Inspiration for this work comes from such influences as mythical art created by the world's first people right through to the contemporary lights and visions of the urban city. Every colour and line on the surface of the painting invokes paradise and mythical landscapes.

    The views that are visually processed from the Real to the Imaginative, are often composed of agglomerated organic, and soft shapes that evoke the ancestral nest.

    A reassuring aspect of this is set against an unscrupulous use of acid tones and violent, which seem to refer to psychedelic experiences. An accelerated movement is the aim of the structures and the lines of these new worlds. The canvas is then living of many contrasts, between lived and imagined, between reassurances and desire to escape, in a stability that is never reached, but always thought in terms of possibilities.
