ABOUT THE WORK

The tonal quality of Augusto Albor’s works have always been powerful. There is a very robust, yet subtle approach to Albor’s canvas, where he uses not lines and colors to emphasize detail in his work, but rather he lets the artwork speak in volumes. The work’s surface gives it a humbling, meditative ambiance, the viewers are then left in the stark emptiness to contemplate. Knowing that Albor has been exploring the capacity of color to fashion a realm of sensation and insight, it is seen in this set of works, he formulated new meaning beyond conventional and traditional forms of language and communication. Because of how his minimalist abstract expressionism does not overwhelm his viewers with strong, brash colors and abrupt, confusing lines, his aesthetic speaks volumes to viewers that seek a calm, serene rendering of raw visual elements.
