INSIDE OUT | VINCENZO ALBANO

Through the works presented at Tila Barrena Gallery, I wanted to represent what surrounds me. Transforming what is outside in a protective space.

Instead of painting what is inside me inventing lines and characters.

All of us contain a world inside, now we are contained in a world in which we cannot go outside too much.

It is an intimate experience, not a show.
I am showing my personal space (home, studio, inner feelings) to mirror the individual private experience we all had, and bring it to the public space, albeit a private space like a gallery.

It is a simplified version, a home selfie in a home setting. An exploration of home. The way we are called to push the boundaries of the space we are confined in. I made it become a space where conflict is resolved. Make the surface as polished as possible, similar to a comic.

We are drawing ourselves anew, and our capacity to develop is challenged by this new confinement that no one was expecting.
