Aldo Iacobelli’s career spans four decades and three countries. Predominantly a painter, his work extends to drawing, ceramics, sculpture and installation. Iacobelli’s introspective and poetic work explores memory, catastrophe and perception through an unfixed and open approach to image-making. His works combine abstraction and figuration as sensory and psychological topographies in which a delicate handling of materials destabilises meaning.

Since the late 1980s, Iacobelli has exhibited regularly in institutional and commercial contexts in Australia, Spain and Switzerland. Exhibitions include Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Monster Theatres, curated by Leigh Robb, Art Gallery of South Australia (2020); Aldo Iacobelli: From time to time one talks to the moon, curated by Linda Marie Walker, Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide (2007); TarraWarra Biennial 2006 Parallel Lives: Australian Painting Today, curated by Victoria Lynn, TarraWarra Museum of Art and Australian Perspecta, curated by Victoria Lynn, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (1993).
