About
Manuel Albarrán
Manuel Albarrán works in metal. Today that means sculpture.
His practice began in wearable work. For years he shaped metal into things the body could carry: corsetry, couture, leather. Metal Couture became his name and his language, and the pieces moved through fashion, editorial, advertising, film and live performance.
The same hands that made armour for the body now make sculptures that need no body at all.
