Tomás March Gallery offers, from 23rd April 2009, an exhibition that gathers the most recent work of the artist Aldo Iacobelli (Nápoles, 1950) The work belongs to the Experimental Art Foundation in Adelaide (Australia) where it was curated by Linda Marie Walker from November to December in 2007.

For more than twenty years Aldo Iacobelli – based in Adelaide (South Australia) and Valencia (Spain)– has been exploring the conceptual boundaries of painting. Tomás March Gallery has been exhibiting his work in Spain since 1996, both within the space of the gallery and in international art fairs (ARCO, Art Basel, etc.)

Expanded Painting

Aldo’s acute attention to surfaces as sites of complex events – their simultaneous personal and political affects – and his insistence throughout his exhibition career that the composition of the work within the architecture of the gallery, is a critical aspect of the overall expressive situation that he creates for painting. The sculptural elements that he brings into relationships between painting and ceramic forms for this exhibition, further complicate the work of painting.

From time to time one talks to the moon, includes oil paintings, ceramic and architectural elements that together seem to tell a story, or signal fields of memory and tries to make you think about the appearance, the marginalization and social awareness.
