David Alabo creates striking digital artworks using virtual reality, examining African heritage and culture in a new, sci-fi setting.
He sees his art as,"reinterpreting African culture or heritage through new media," pushing the boundaries of traditional art to create immersive experiences. Last year, Alabo's work"Divine Opulence" was used by HBO in a virtual event for fans of the TV horror show,"Lovecraft Country." Using a VR headset, guests explored the artwork, which had been"translated into this whole world with music and dynamics and sound," he said.
"High Priestess" , designed for a range of tarot-inspired t-shirts, explores mysticism and spirituality. "Justice" , was created in 2020 to offer solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests.While still acknowledging these important issues, Alabo said he wants his work to walk the"fine line between paying respects to the past, but also not allowing it to dictate your future, or your perspective on the future.
"I think my art centers around these themes of isolation, or reflection, or displacement, because it's tough to be in that kind of situation."His art is filled with small, lonely figures, standing in vast, empty desert landscapes that echo the geography of Morocco, where his mother is from."I think my art centers around these themes of isolation, or reflection, or displacement, because it's tough to be in that kind of situation," he added.
