Standing as a bold and definitive statement of a contemporary geometric painting, masterfully challenges the static limits of modern portraiture. Part of ALMO’s acclaimed The Geometric Head Series, this unique creation deploys an analytical silhouette template to explore the boundaries of geographic identity and mental mapping. The composition trades traditional portraiture for a dense, centripetal maze of interlocking geometric and biomorphic cells executed in heavily saturated primary blues, radiant yellows, and burning oranges. Set against an earthy brown industrial cellulose leather base and neatly framed by a thin hand-drawn golden border, this multi-layered canvas successfully archives nomadic memories into an authoritarian tactile presence.
Whether symbols, dreams, or traces of our individual lives, the artist's work often features heads, floating bodies, trees, dollar signs, cars, laurel branches, and symbolic elements that denounce the cruelties of our borders. Almo executes his drawings intuitively in these acrylic portrait paintings, seeking a state of semi-trance, as he defines his process.
