Albert Cano repurposes contemporary magazines and fashion photography to create surreal collages that spark intrigue and imagination. With his meticulous craftsmanship, he creates silos of beauty, luxury and extravagance. By focusing on color and texture, Cano lets his viewers experience the works at their own pace, the eye is free to wander.
"Albert Cano’s work, which usually nocturnal, has something of a ritual. The artist gets abstract figurations inherent to himself helped due to chance and to this prodigious ability to turn a limitation into the genesis of a new world that resembles a magical practice. Collage is one of the greatest ways of playing with chance. Detect, cut, relate, abandon, return, find: between sleep and insomnia Albert Cano officiates encounters, as a nocturnal hypnotized by the shine of the coated paper."
Albert Cano was born in 1968 and is currently based in Barcelona.
