to be a part, yet remain apart
  
                        

urban existence entails the navigation of the dichotomy of being a part of a collective, yet remain an individual.
as marienetti and the futurists were more destructive, we embrace community while exhaling the individual and the examination of their own existence - and existence in general.
modernity is ruled by technology, speed and the media – beneath this is the struggle of the individual.  

Aiello’s work is based in pastiche through his unique photo-collage technique.  The work is developed through Aiello’s interaction with the canvass – through what remains and what is lost.

Aiello reverses the individual’s inevitable social role – ultimately, as consumer of their environment – by placing this in the background.  Overtop, Aiello applies his free-expressionism – boundless, destructive and re-constrictive.

The art is progressive and exhibits unusual depth.  Technically, we see the artist tirelessly working with the canvass.  This is the direct struggle between the individual and modernity – directly and boldly.  Visually, it is compelling and could be read in a myriad of ways – whether implied, derived or otherwise.

As a young artist, Aiello has developed his avant-garde technique in abstract form as a student at the OCAD and more recently in his Abstract Dichotomies series.
