Terrence Higgins Trust - 2022, Timed Auction

Dd Regalo is a Canadian London-based contemporary artist known for adapting poetry into abstract painting with a style that is both outwardly expressive and distinctly personal.

Applying both text and abstract gestural markings, this seemingly playful piece moves past naive rebellion in an attempt to capture the feeling of a specific moment - the moment you decide to go for it. It plays with the idea of surrender and flips it from a position of weakness to an opportunity for strength. The rhythmic tessellated circles fill the page with increasing vigour and represent letting go, and in doing so becoming fully immersed without inhibition.
