Albert on his work:

Making the most of my own imaginary and the collective likewise, I propose reflection spaces surrounding contemporary conflicts like the dialectic about nature and culture, and the difficulties of communication.

An imagining that flees from the spectacularity and the fascination for the media, that moves away from the photographic precision, that doesn’t want the gesture of the trace or the harmony of the colour…

An imagining that arises from “realities” that struggle to go beyond the immediate in order to go deep into situations that are more mysterious and unknown than the ones left in the starting point.

A “calm” glance that moves among the gaps of what is poetic and what is incisive, that looks for a certain balance between hiding and showing in a paused and subtle way.

Check out the Artist Site. There’s some really nice work there, interesting images and great technique. I think there was a Magritte influence somewhere down the line. Some didn’t make sense to me (like Dress Rehearsal), but interesting to look at. There is a bit of a language barrier in the description, but I think basically he’s depicting conflict, struggle and opposition between unlike elements.

Its not meaningless jargon just because you cant understand it. Some of us can and it makes sense. Nice paintings.

I found the artist’s site much more interesting than these two paintings. Love his use of color and very intriguing composition.

I think that the detail in this painting is amazing. The child is a little deep for me but WOW!

perhaps something is lost in translation – not another commentary which is totally meaningless when considered

Whoa, that first one is creepy, but well done.

Mission accomplished.

I think these painting are very well done and quite interesting but the statement- what are you saying? Did you pull random word out of a hat? Total meaningless jargon but nice painting.
