Aldo Mondino
Untitled Painting by Aldo Mondino

2000s

About the Item

Oil on linoleum, with styrofoam applications covered with tinfoil. Signed on the back. Accompanied by authentication from the Aldo Mondino Archives. The eclectic Turin-based artist Aldo Mondino has articulated his artistic research through continuous metamorphoses that have made his production polymorphous: a relentless attempt to find a personal response to the transformations consuming the 1970s, trying to make art history coexist with images of mass consumption, personal fantasies, religion, classicism, mysticism, travels to the East, friends and kitsch. His dogged need to experiment with materials-such as coffee, candy, sugar, chocolate drippings from his beloved Piedmont, marshmallows imported from America, bronze, flowers, strictly blue Bic, ceramics, and eraclite carpets-demonstrates his ability to bring art, craft, communal life, nature, and religion into dialogue. All seasoned with the use of irony to unmask conventions gracefully. In the 1980s Aldo Mondino embarked on a journey between Morocco and Palestine that left a real imprint on him, so much so that he generated the series of works of Dervishes, dancing subjects painted on linoleum, who practice the ritual dance characteristic of Turkish tradition by performing fluid, circular movements. The work is presented in a frame.

Painted in Historical Subject, XVIIth century
Located in Milan, IT
Oil painting on canvas. French school of the seventeenth century. The scene, set at night in the garden of a villa, of which you can glimpse the ornate facade on the right and in which the fountain gushing with cherubs stands out, under a dark sky and further obscured by heavy clouds, proposes two figures who entertain each other in conversation : an elderly modestly dressed is sternly admonishing a seated young man, richly dressed, who seems instead to make the gesture of mea culpa with his hand. The physiognomy and the gestures of the two characters, together with the style of the clothes, would refer to the philosopher Aristotle who was called to the court of Macedon to be the tutor...
