Carlos Albert's solo exhibition, "Essencial," at the Museo Francisco Sobrino, Guadalajara, Spain, presents sculptures created in the last three years that reveal the artistry of the form while offering an impulse to the viewer's imagination. This collection invites us to expand the limitations of individual vision by consciously conceiving the emptiness of space as a territory to fill and conquer. Albert, an absolute sculptor, doesn't just place objects in a void; he charges the space around his works with energy and potential.
His steel and iron pieces, often characterized by monumental scale and stark geometry, act as open, structural sketches-powerful anchors that define the negative space. They challenge us to look beyond the material, activating the surrounding atmosphere and making the viewer a co-creator. The void ceases to be an absence; it becomes a clamorous territory waiting to be claimed by the power of the imaginal. In "Essencial," Albert offers not just forms, but a framework for perceiving infinite possibility.
