Rafael D’Aló: NEWS FROM HOME

1 Apr-5 May 2022

Installation view, 'NEWS FROM HOME'.

Overview

Investigating is at the heart of D’Aló’s practice. Sculptures, paintings and installations are composed of bits of found information that come together to retell stories and establish new relationships between fact, fiction and possibly the fun we have at deconstructing old myths. His works are articulated through juxtaposing materials, colours and found images, remnants of our life in the city, generating an interplay that hints at our fertile collective imaginary and the fast consuming world we inhabit. 

D’Aló’s work invokes the innate wisdom of the oppressed to play with the iconography of power struggle and desire. Each piece informs the next, creating an ever-evolving chain of metaphors between what’s past and what we have yet to discover and the embedded irony of history.
