Álvaro Urbano: Fleeting Moments of Decay Cast in Metal

Álvaro Urbano preserves the brief period between blossom and decay by sculpting common plants from metal, casting vulnerable life forms into a sturdy material and rendering their colors and textures in paint. Drawing on theater and architecture, his immersive scenes often leave trails of leaves on the floor or appear to grow directly from gallery walls — small monuments to things that would normally disappear in days or minutes.
