ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alberto Porro (b. 1986, Milan, Italy) is an artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, who investigates painting through a blend of mimesis and image appropriation. In his work, he merges imagery from his surroundings with archival materials, particularly historical playing cards, which he researches and studies as part of his practice. By recontextualizing these cards within the pictorial space, Porro crafts visual narratives that weave memory and archetypal imagery, encouraging self-reflection and open-ended interpretations.
