Origin IABO WORLD STUDIO NAPLES, ITALY The works are handmade using mixed media on canvas. Total dimensions 60x80x3.5 cm hand-signed by the artist on the back with certificate of authenticity -Collectible item -Fast shipping with UPS At first glance, Iabo (Naples, 1980) draws inspiration from 1980s Pop Art. He investigates the line and studies its form. And he makes it a true obsession, pursuing a constant search for mechanical perfection, but in an artisanal way. In Iabo the boundary between man and machine is very thin. His creations are technically flawless. An obsession that has led him to experiment and configure a very personal language. Partly derived from Street Art experiences, partly from a rooted sense of proportion that emerges in all his works. His painting cycle can be traced back to several strands, recurring motifs. Whether it concerns anthropomorphic profiles or mailboxes, prestigious brands or popular subjects, it matters little. Everything is filtered through Iabo’s lens, which marks and identifies it with a very precise brand: his own. A past as a writer, a chameleonic personality, a strong ethical sense. Many selection processes applied to the common imagination, always reduced to its core. And cloaked in elegance. It would be fair to say “less is more.” And that is precisely the case. Recognizability does not get lost in the minimalist approach, but is elevated in a few essential strokes that never disorient the observer. The ironic play of combinations, the slightly shaded color range, the uniform color, the progression of nuances, the bold stroke. No artifices, rather an exciting game at the edge of the most radical cynicism. Unusual pairings between imaginaries and seemingly disjoint signifiers that are always functional to convey a positive message. Politically correct. Never in favor of aesthetics. Iabo’s works are very contemporary, useful to identify a historical moment rather than a common feeling. His characters communicate, seek solutions, bridge distances, weave relationships and trigger reactions. A work of ongoing deconstruction and reconstruction. Outside and inside the canvas. One starts from a theme and endless declinations arise. Whether it is the parking line or a commodity in multiple forms, the lifecycle of the work remains irreparably incorrupt and deflated. Consumerism comes to life in a hypothetical, recognizable, non-real universe. In a repeatable format, morally ethical and customizable. Absolutely versatile, aesthetically perfect. Simple, clean, usable. His painting production is increasingly turning toward the use of plexiglass as an excellent material to further emphasize the discussion on the cleanliness of compositional lines. Iabo certainly knows the value of viral marketing. His works reach surfaces of over five meters, breaking down the boundary between real and imaginary, between human and superhero. If in art anything is possible, in Iabo’s universe reality exceeds fantasy. Despite the popular, iconic, pop imagery, it isn’t a style for everyone. His elaborations are extremely refined and aimed at an elite of connoisseurs who grasp its primary meaning: beyond aesthetics, symmetry and overall harmony. At the base of his constructs lies a firm denunciation of cultural flattening. Provocation, immediacy, and a spontaneous character underpin a well-studied, intelligent, cultured poetics with a sure aim. Democracy, frankness, and originality characterize him as an artist/intellectual son of his time. An indispensable commitment at the base of every creation. Although very young, Iabo naturally and with extreme simplicity manages to address hot topics and solves (unfortunately only on the canvas) the existential conflicts that plague our society.
