Halloween may have come and gone, but for those still looking for a good fright, or more accurately a nausea-inducing sight, Francesco Albano has got the golden ticket. He is an incredibly talented sculptor with a twisted vision that may have people thinking of psychopaths and serial killers. Yet Francesco Albano channels his morbidity through the safe medium of art.
Born in Oppido Mamertina, Italy, Francesco Albano focuses primarily on the human body. More specifically, the human body if it were a mass of skin devoid of the bones that shape it into a functioning person. Yet the way Francesco Albano displays his works of art, it appears to allude to some kind of torture. Some of the bodies are trapped in cages while others are melted over chairds and other furniture pieces.
