Current Work presents “Puffy Coat,” featuring an all-new series of paintings by Salt Lake City artist Andrew Alba. See it before it closes!
In his latest body of work, painter Andrew Alba meditates on a series of questions about love and intimacy. From the idealism of romance and urgency of desire, to tender bonds between parents and children, to the chaos of heartbreak, he digs into life’s most messy, colorful, and poignant experiences.
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT, Andrew Alba is a self-taught artist and descendant of Mexican migrant workers. His nontraditional background is a constant influence as he communicates through the thick, gestural application of paint and utilization of repurposed, everyday materials in his work. His paintings, drawings, and sculptural artworks are created to evoke an emotional response while commenting on contemporary politics and society.
We look forward to sharing this work with you during Salt Lake Gallery Stroll on March 17. The exhibition will also be on view by appointment through March 24. Follow @currentwork.art on Instagram to see images of work and updates.
