Dider Corallo: Nuance in Order

by Linnea Del Deo

This sculptor envisions order naturally. That is to say, his natural vision is order. And I permit myself to also say that what he makes orderly looks natural. Dider Coralla works in wood, graphite, wax, cardboard, oil, glass, metal and paint. Among these mediums he has managed to show us just what one can do to stimulate the mind and senses.

Old Gods

The sculpture is a portrait of ancient being. It’s obelisk-like presence speaks not of diplomacy but of omnipotence, tenacity, and the jealousy of an angry God. It’s multifaceted shape brings about the thought of alien geometries I can not comprehend with my limited human mind. The sculpture protects me in this form, and a tiny piece of the Old Gods must have spoken through Corallo when he chose it’s isometrics.

Landscape after Capser David Frederich

Didier Corallo This is indeed a landscape, though not painted on in the conventional sense an artist would create a landscape painting. I look at this piece and see the thick, creamy oil climbing up the thicker sheets of glass. The way each sheet of glass encases another glob of oil resembles a very painterly scene, in which rolling hills do not overlap one another but instead are situated as overtaking planes. Caspar David Frederich (1774 – 1840), a German Romantic painter would have loved Didier's work.

Three Glass Boxes with Objects Inside

	The first piece is hardly discernible for the glass with it’s impenetrable shield blocks any such penetrating critique. The blur of a white object juts out from behind the opaque glass, it’s mystery a personal echo of pale dust motes, hospital walls, or that matter the ceiling of the room I grew up in. Straight graphed points mark the glass.
	The second looks a lot like a frostbound tree which stands patiently on the freezing breeze of winter. It’s wooden protrusions stick out in clumps which are surprisingly orderly. For something with such unnatural straightness, it seems to evoke nature in a lordly way.
	And the third piece looks like a snow-covered tree in the middle of a blizzard. The opaque glass gives the illusion of a thick hail of snow, blurring the ocular senses. One wonders how much longer the tree can stand, in the fierce illusory tumult of the stillness of reality.

Dider Corallo paints a Kafkaesque picture in which simple and abstract concepts represent disorder and complexities. His use of measured resources describe nature and the simple illusions it gives us well enough that it borders on describing the nature of illusions themselves. In his work, what describes nature is order. But universally, nature is distinguished as being separate from order, as being chaos. This makes Dider Corallo’s work a universal illusion, a separation from reality all it’s own.
