In his works, Jacopo Dal Bello explores the fragmentation of pictorial and semantic spaces. His artistic practice combines digital and analog elements to create a new visual language that oscillates between construction and deconstruction. The artist's signature is visible in expressive lines and shapes on canvas, paper and textiles, with abstract forms created through textures, lines and abandoned materials.
Everyday found objects, baroque fragments and symbols of the digital age are combined - by layering materials, Dal Bello challenges perception and interpretation, using layering as a technique and strategy. His works reflect the fluid mechanisms of meaning production and combine art history with internet culture as well as gestural painting with iconic signs. In doing so, he draws on the principles of Arte Povera and Berlin's recycling culture.
Dal Bello's works encourage an examination of the openness of spaces of meaning, question the in-between and offer a complex interplay between tradition and innovation.
