Biography

STATEMENT

Moritz Albert paints people. On the periphery of portrait. Always with a vague narrative.
The depicted person’s self-display and its processing, evolving through time is a main focus. Political drifts effect the works and are critically studied. Anxieties of the artist and his surroundings are revealed but not exploited.
Works that observe and hint at things without trying to to be lecturing or obvious.
