From the artist's estate of works
Black Center is a striking and impactful large-format painting created in the 1960s by Domenick Capobianco. The work is part of a catalog of bold, post-modernist pieces by the artist that often feature geometric themes — circles, squares, and vibrant color fields. Capobianco is recognized for his use of bright, eye-catching colors and a visual style rooted in Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting. During this era, many artists sought to move beyond representational art, favoring bold geometric shapes and vibrant color fields as a way to evoke direct emotional responses rather than depict reality. Capobianco, active in post-war New York, was immersed in this culture of experimentation and innovation. His pieces are known for their strong compositional structure and energetic presentation, with Circles embodying these qualities through its expansive canvas and focus on simple, pure geometric forms.
Domenick Capobianco is celebrated for his contributions to post-war American art. He moved from Italy to the United States and became a prominent figure in the New York art scene, producing a substantial body of work over several decades. His career includes painting, sculpture, and mixed media, with frequent exhibitions worldwide from the late 1950s onward. He has won significant recognition, including the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts, and his works have been featured in auction houses, galleries, and museum collections.

Domenick Capobianco, born in Salerno, Italy in 1928, is an artist of significant international standing, recognized for his exceptional talent and dedication to artistic excellence. Primarily known for his post-modernist paintings and sculptures, characterized by their bright, eye-catching colors, his work aligns with the "Second New York School" of art. He was honored with the prestigious Rutgers Fellowship (1979) and the coveted Guggenheim Fellowship (1984/85). His influence extended beyond his own artistic practice through his impactful role as an educator and mentor at Rutgers University. Capobianco's works are celebrated globally, residing in the permanent collections of such esteemed institutions as the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia; the Albertina Museum, Vienna, Austria; and the M.V. Nesterov Museum, Ufa, Russia. His artistic contributions have also been displayed at the Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje. His association with the influential 55 Mercer Gallery in New York, alongside his wife, artist Elfi Schuselka, marks him as a key art world figure.
