ORIGINAL
A day in the life of contemporary abstract expressionist painter Matt Albano, filmed at his Long Island City studio.
We observe Matt Albano at his studio and are viscerally drawn into his plainspoken descriptions of the creative process: the physicality of his approach as he slaps color on canvas, each splash of paint considered preordained. Matt talks without pretension about what inspires him: the nightmare of colors of his dreams and the people and artifacts of his New York life: among them a woman who lives under the 7 train in Sunnyside, a collection of parking tickets he has accumulated on his car, and, a cartoon dinosaur that evokes his childhood growing up in the 90s.
