D'Alvia works in a sculptural idiom that is decidedly hyper-visual, artisanal and history laden. He has developed proprietary sculptural processes that co-opt existing means of traditional and industrial production. Drawing on sources that include megalithic monuments, toy design and the Baroque, the work encapsulates seemingly antithetical motifs such as minimal/ornate, industrial/handmade, comic/tragic, progress/destruction and attraction/repulsion. Reminiscent of the strategies of Jeff Koons, Katharina Fritsch, Richard Artschwager and John McCracken, these obscured and shrouded creatures have a deceptive quality and engage the viewer with their rich, dark humor.
