by DANIEL ALIGAEN
June 18 to 29, 2009

While Daniel Aligaen is simply fond of depicting images that are easily recognizable in that they are either culled from pop culture or are religious personae, he actually brings attention to his specialty of dealing in great contrasts.

Second is how he merges icons polar in their differences to the point of risking the tag of ‘iconoclast.’ Indeed, this body of works dubbed “Iconoclash” is an initial peek at Aligaen’s world of gritty visual mix where technique and style are made even more stark with daring.
