Welcome to a glimpse into the vibrant and evocative world of ALO (Aristide Loria), a trailblazing Italian artist with an unwavering passion for urban landscapes and the raw canvases they present. Born in Ancona in 1981, this London/Paris-based painter has been pushing the boundaries of traditional street art, infusing it with the finesse and depth of indoor techniques.
ALO's artistic journey began on the streets of London. Unlike many street artists whose work remains confined to the shadows of the city, ALO stepped into the light with his collaboration with reputable art galleries. His inaugural major solo show, "Hail to the Loser," at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery in 2014, marked a pivotal moment in his career. It wasn't just a show; it was the start of an enduring partnership that would bring his work to more eyes and hearts.
The Saatchi Gallery welcomed ALO once again in 2017 for his second solo exhibition, "Exit from Aden." His enchanting pieces have also graced Paris and Berlin, and in 2016, the urban art world further recognized his talent as he was included in the Urban Art auction at Artcurial in Paris.
But what makes ALO's art so compelling to a global audience? It's the raw emotion captured within each stroke and the snarls of color that project his narrative beyond the confines of four walls. His work is an invitation to contemplate and participate in a dialogue with the street itself.
