ABOUT THE WORK

In Dino Gabito’s works, what we see is only the covering, the instrument of subterfuge which, in this case, is evoked by the folds of the cloth. While we detect a human figure underneath it, we are given nothing else, only the willful resistance against disclosure. Shrouded, preternaturally evasive, the figure is a conundrum. In asserting the presence of absence, Gabito argues for the unknowable nature of the self.
