Alex Furtado (b. Toronto, ON) is a multi-media artist predominantly working in sculpture. His research indulges the human psyche and how it is expressed through language, labor, possessions, and determinations of value. Representations of the German ‘sehnsucht’ and Portuguese ‘saudade’ within domestic, industrial, and academic affairs are often central to his art practice. Informed by his personal history and education in information sciences, he utilizes visual language from the skilled trades to communicate ambivalent experiences of incompleteness in our pasts, presents, and futures.
