Aldo Mondino

Oil on linoleum, with polystyrene applications covered in tin foil. Signed on the back. Accompanied by authentication from the Aldo Mondino Archive. The eclectic Turin-based artist Aldo Mondino articulated his artistic research through continuous metamorphoses that made his production polymorphic: an incessant attempt to find a personal response to the transformations that took place in the Seventies, trying to make the history of art coexist with the images of mass consumption, personal fantasies, religion, classicism, mysticism, travels to the East, friends, and kitsch. His stubborn need to experiment with materials - such as coffee, candies, sugar, chocolate drizzles from his beloved Piedmont, marshmallows imported from America, bronze, flowers, strictly blue Bics, ceramics, and heraclite carpets - demonstrates his ability to create a dialogue between art, craftsmanship, common life, nature, and religion. All seasoned with the use of irony, to unmask conventions with grace. In the Eighties, Aldo Mondino embarked on a journey between Morocco and Palestine that left a real mark on him, so much so that it generated the series of works of the Dervishes, dancing subjects painted on linoleum, who practice the ritual dance characteristic of the Turkish tradition, performing fluid and circular movements.
