ALO is an Italian artist based in London. The painter is highly inspired by the Expressionist style.
ALO has brought Fine Art into an urban context in a deliberate move to make it accessible to a wider audience. Primarily a studio-based painter, Alo uses the same techniques for his indoor and outdoor creations, avoiding spray cans at all costs. Painting on buildings is illegal in the UK and it is widely known that very few of ALO’s street pieces are painted with permission and he is not paid for his creations. ALO’s muses speak silently from their poised positions on the street.
The artist created his first urban art works in Italy and London and then in Paris and Berlin. He describes his style as ‘Urban Expressionism’. ALO was the focus of successful solo exhibition Liminal in 2021 as well as previous exhibitions Exit from Aden in 2017, and Hail to the Loser in 2014.
