Aldo Chaparro (b.1965) is a Mexican artist whose work focuses in the use of sculpture and painting to explore form in post-industrial ways. He currently lives and works between Mexico City, Monterrey, Los Angeles, Madrid, Paris and Lima.
Chaparro explores form through void, matter and the human body using quick processes to transform prefabricated materials into unique objects. Using elements commonly used for construction, he creates forms in balance by manipulating and subtracting matter.
He is known for expanding the boundaries that separate art from other disciplines, making of this frontier his central theme. Through different media, Chaparro remixes and edits references from the media world pushing aside the notions of past and future to offer a present where simultaneity co-exists. He is the editorial director of Celeste Editorial Group, and as an editor he is able to take phrases and images referent to art an art history and decontextualize them giving them a new meaning. He plays with the notion of the two and three-dimensional as his steel sculptures stand as a record of the performative action that gave them form.
