Lucio Fontana
Circa 1970 Original red composition on Plexiglas by Lucio Fontana

Circa 1970

About the Item

Italian maestro Lucio Fontana, a trailblazer in spatialism and the mastermind behind "Concetto spaziale," pushed artistic boundaries with his innovative use of plexiglass. One such groundbreaking exhibition unfolded at Galleria il Quadro Biella. Fontana, renowned for his Spatialist theories that advocated for a fusion of art and technology, harnessed the transparent allure of plexiglass to redefine the boundaries of artistic expression. The exhibition at Galleria il Quadro Biella became a testament to Fontana's avant-garde spirit and his relentless pursuit of transcending traditional artistic mediums. With plexiglass as his canvas, Fontana delved into a realm where space and art converged. The material's transparency allowed for a unique interplay of light and form, creating an immersive experience for the viewer. Each piece, a testament to Fontana's mastery, unfolded a narrative that extended beyond the physical confines of the gallery. Silvio Zamorani, known for his commitment to promoting innovative artists, played a pivotal role in bringing Fontana's plexiglass marvels to Torino. The collaboration between artist and editor exemplified a shared vision to challenge artistic norms and create a dialogue between form and void. Fontana's use of plexiglass at Galleria il Quadro Biella represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of spatialist art. By leveraging the transparent qualities of plexiglass, Fontana achieved a synthesis of space, light, and artistic expression, leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of contemporary art.
