A completely overlooked gem on Alba:
ISOMALT by 3DManatee

Minted on a day in Dec. when gas was super high, this highly textural work is ripe for rediscovery.

Evoking the fine structure of sugar crystals, ISOMALT is a masterclass in molecular chemistry thanks to 3DManatee's unique primitive shapes.

Evanescencia - Edition #9
by Leonardo Solaas

Held by the amazing art advisor Fanny Lakoubay 🙌

"The flower becomes, not a representation of something beautiful, but an immaterial force. It is the invisible source of a painting, as if sketched from a distant memory."

Abstract floral work made with javascript code

Alba.art @albadotart.bsky.social · Apr 4

Dawn Contemporary’s show LET IT FLOW starts next week — Wed, Apr 10 — with Leonardo Solaas’s piece EVANESCENCIA.

An expressionistic floral shape emerges from darkness. Not so much a representation of a flower, as the drawing of a memory after it’s begun to fade. What remains of what we’ve lost?

Alba.art @albadotart.bsky.social · Apr 2

So you think you have a handle on what flow fields can do? Wait until you see the show opening next week 😉

NOISIA
by Nico23

Wed, May 1st

If a drawing is silent, can it still express the feeling of a sound? Taking inspiration from synth techniques — resonance and subtraction in particular — NOISIA combines nico23's love for the world of underground techno and visual art into a new sensory experience

Finding the Way
by White Koala

Wed, April 24th

What does the inside of your mind look like, especially as it encounters challenges and new ideas? How do we keep moving forward?

Koala's piece shows visually the life choices we're presented with, and the obstacles each person has to navigate.

Abstract art of tightly clustered, quilt like patterns

Resting Place For Wild Pigeons
by Juhani Halkomäki

Wed, April 17th

Drawing inspiration from Tove Jansson’s B&W pen drawings for her beloved Moomin book illustrations, Halkomäki's piece creates depth in a traditionally flat genre of generative art through subtle gradations of pen strokes.

Abstract art of tube like shapes flowing across the canvas
