Aldo Chaparro is a Mexican/Peruvian artist whose work focuses on the use of sculpture and painting to explore form in post-industrial ways. He currently lives and works between Mexico City, Los Angeles, Madrid, 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. Much of his work is based on quick processes, which forces him to have a close relationship with his materials. One of the premises of Chaparro's work is the concept of time and his relationships with prefabricated materials, such as beams and sheets. He also explores ideas based on the interactions between different materials and disciplines; from curatorship, film, public art, architecture, industrial and editorial design (Editorial Celeste, Mexico, 2000-2014), to music, sculpture, painting, installation, and so on.
