Dario D’Aronco’s Cosmic-Conceptual Sculptures at Galleria Mario Iannelli
Galleria Mario Iannelli in Rome presents its first Italian artist, Dario D’Aronco (born Rome, 1980; lives in Rotterdam). Active mainly in the Netherlands, D’Aronco’s cosmic-conceptual vein follows the legacy of Gino De Dominicis, engaging with contemporary dystopian themes. A standout sculpture combines a thin rod—reminiscent of De Dominicis’s Calamita cosmica—with a reproduction of the hypothalamus, the biological seat of decision-making, presented as an alien and primordial object. An ammonite fossil, once thought to be a primordial snake, appears indivisibly twisted. The viewer’s external body (face, hands) is presented as perfectible through simple software. The exhibition is reviewed by Pericle Guaglianone.
