Welcome to

Dario Mohr

Sanctuaries are reverential in nature, and often comprise both art and object. I construct these experiences referencing the visual language of my former Anglican faith, as well as my burgeoning understanding of the spiritual practices of my ancestral heritage from West Africa, and philosophies from around the world. Lately, this has included the journey of reclamation of lost ancestry due to colonialism and slavery. My art practice is interdisciplinary, involving painting, sculpture, assemblage, installation, digital art and video, with creative reuse being a major part of my practice.  This goes for both objects, and previously completed work, resulting in a constant evolution of my materials. Using this visual language, I often create large scale installations that the public are invited to touch, sit, and occasionally languish within, to really engage with and embrace the varied themes presented in the sacred spaces I create.
