Andrew Alba, Weighted Home
View works

Froelick Gallery is excited to announce its newest represented artist, Andrew Alba, and our first solo exhibition of his paintings. Andrew Alba spent a handful of years in Portland and now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah where he was born and raised. Alba is a self-taught artist, father, musician, and descendant of Mexican migrant workers. His personal journey and family dynamics are constant influences as he communicates to us viewers with his thick, gestural application of oil paint and the utilization of repurposed everyday materials. Alba’s work is often recognized for his commentary on contemporary politics, sociological systems, and society as it relates to him as a person of color. However, in this new series of works, he invites us into a world made entirely of Magical Realism. Alba’s luxuriant brushwork allows for his figures' mystery to live ambiguously. He creates a world using a tender palette of succulent greens, sweet magentas, night sky cobalt, and ancestral tones of brown and black. Join Andrew in his quest in grasping the relationship between spiritual existence and the land we were born into. A world of souls finding homes in weighted bodies and objects.

 

This exhibition features brand-new paintings and drawings and will include a selection of paintings from past series he has made over the last 5 years.
