IN THE SHADOW OF FORGETTING

ALDO IACOBELLI

Exhibition Dates: 16 May 2014 - 21 June 2014

Aldo Iacobelli’s work draws broadly upon personal experience. My Days (2011-13) for instance, consists of 224 mixed media drawings in recycled frames. For Iacobelli these works are a form of visual diary, representing the processes of thinking that drive his work on a daily basis. He is particularly interested in memory, those recollections stored in the mind and often completely forgotten –until something arouses their return. In keeping with the other works in this exhibition he asks the audience to concentrate on the detail of what we experience on a daily basis, to look at the world through the eyes of an artist who has spent a lifetime in the act of observation and revelation.
