Tina Alberni
Alberni is a semi-abstract, phygital artist. Layers of ideas, shapes, vibrant colors and symbolism coalesce in response to present day global imbalances.
MessageCollaborative by Tina Alberni & Mikel Frank on Exhibit at Cato 3, Ground level at CPCC, 8121 Grier Road, Charlotte, NC 28215. May-July 2024
48 pieces in total.
This collaborative project emerged from the shared aspiration of two artists with distinct artistic approaches, uniting their creative visions to engage in a visual dialogue. There was no commentary agenda except to just be in the moment and respond. Over the course of several months, Tina responded to two original collages created by Mikel by crafting 2 collages in response. They did this 24 times to create the existing 48, 6"x6" conversation.
Mikel Frank brings a non-objective approach to the forefront, primarily concentrating on elements like color, shape, form, and texture. In the tradition of the Dada movement, he makes use of random fragments found in discarded materials. The process he develops is an improvisational response setting up a dialogue with the piece where he takes his cues from how the picture plane develops, improvising on the accident.
Tina Alberni also uses discarded and random materials but places emphasis on intrinsic qualities. This approach leans towards automatism, allowing her expressive imagination to flow freely. This enables her to access and convey inner thoughts and emotions in a raw, unfiltered manner, with the subconscious taking the reins. The result is an improvisational response for both artists, which takes cues from the previous 2 works.
The conversation that results is both visually exciting and provocative.
