Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a minimalist sculptural composition using a combination of metallic and wooden elements. The central focus is a geometric, angular metal form that appears to be suspending or supporting a wooden structure. The overall palette is muted, with the silver-toned metal contrasting against the warm, natural wood tones. The composition is visually arresting, with the interplay of rigid, angular forms and the sense of tension and balance. This piece likely explores themes of industrial design, functionality, and the relationship between man-made and natural materials. The artist's intention may be to challenge conventional notions of sculpture and furniture design through this thought-provoking assemblage. ...

Rafael D'Aló's artistic practice is centered around the act of investigation. Through sculpture, painting, and installation, he assembles fragments of found objects in order to create narratives and establish novel connections between fact and fiction, often with a playful nod towards deconstructing established myths. D'Aló achieves this by bringing together diverse materials, colours, and found images, often sourced from the urban environment, to create a dynamic interplay that speaks to our collective imagination and the rapidly changing world in which we live. He explores the ways in which power struggles and desires are represented through iconography, using the wisdom of the oppressed to subvert dominant narratives through his work. Imbued with a sense of irony and critical engagement with history, each piece builds upon the last, creating a continuous chain of metaphors that connect the past with the present and hint at new possibilities for the future. ...
