Alben

A self-taught artist, Alben has been collecting and accumulating objects since adolescence. First attracted by graffiti, his first paintings combine stencil, screen printing and stamps. Inspired by the new realists and more particularly Arman and César, his work of resin sculptures has been developing for ten years.

​

Alben's works have been exhibited for fifteen years in galleries and contemporary art fairs in France and abroad.

 

His subject is based on the ideas of accumulations, assemblies and discrepancies in order to shake up our certainties. 

His fascination with everyday objects and more particularly those that are abandoned underpins his work. The artist travels to flea markets and flea markets all year round around the world in order to fuel his work.

 

The exploration of societies through what they throw away is a perpetual process.
