Alex Furtado (1991, Toronto, Canada) is a visual artist whose sculptural practice often combines found objects with traditional methods. His research is engaged with the human psyche and how it is expressed through home, labour, memories, and possessions. His work is rooted in explorations of desire, failure, and a sense of the incomplete both interior and exterior to individuals. Through arrangements and compositions that visualize the emotional concepts of ‘sehnsucht’ and ‘saudade’, he seeks to communicate ambivalent experiences that challenge the notion of a singular life or action ever being whole.
