Dalton Gata – Dressed To Leave This World

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

Featuring five new large-scale acrylic portraits, Dressed to Leave This World marks Dalton Gata’s Milan debut with Peres Projects. In this evocative series, Gata envisions clothing as a sacred act of self-definition on the threshold of life and death. His figures, dressed in opulent garments and poised in surreal landscapes, radiate a defiant glamour, transforming fashion into symbols of resilience and autonomy.

Drawing from his Caribbean heritage, Gata’s work weaves together references to African and Spanish histories while exploring identity, transformation, and cultural belonging. Through these richly detailed compositions, Dressed to Leave This World reflects on the layered complexities of how we present ourselves to the world and the power of self-expression.
