About the Show
With his cubistic paintings and collage works that create associations like ‚modern Picasso‘ meeting Pop Art, Daniel Dalopo deals with life as a component of a mass. With „Animal Instinct“ he specifies on techniques of survival in a society, fighting for leadership or living life in oppression, politically and on a sexual level. This kind of perpetual struggle is something that all human beings commonly go through and Dalopo manages to transfer the topic onto canvas and cardboard through various abstract figures, overlapping onto one plane. The lack of space and perspective depth, as well as the use of complementary colors and conflictive patterns create tensions that illustrate that daily battles that go along with human existence.

About the Artist
Andalusian artist Daniel López Pozo a.k.a ‚DALOPO‘ was born in 1990 in Casariche from where he later moved to the city of Seville in 2007, which he has considered his home ever since. Moving to the city allowed him to enter the local School of Art where he put his focus on studying artistic silkscreen. It didn’t take much time until he got the chance to exhibit his work in several exhibitions in Seville. His characteristic style, which he had developed over many years since his childhood in the countryside, is strongly influenced by 20th century art movements like constructivism, cubism, or pop art. Dalopo mainly works with abstract shapes, geometrical structures mixed with organic forms, faces and countless bodies, which he disintegrates and re-organizes in order to create a collage-like new picture. The central matter of his creations is the human being, his face, his contradictions, unprovided of labels and religions, the universe and the meaning of life, freedom and sexual diversity.
