Large Textural Wall Panel by Aldo Guarnieri, Italy, 1971 — Unique Piece

About the Item

Striking and sculptural textural wall panel created and signed by Italian artist Aldo Guarnieri in 1971. Executed in wood, pastel, and hand-painted enamel, the piece showcases a masterful use of geometric forms carved, embedded, and incised into the surface — evoking the tactile richness of post-war material experimentation. The panel’s abstract pattern is constructed through wooden inlays and direct gestural incisions into thick layers of paint, resulting in a dramatic relief reminiscent of Van Gogh’s impasto technique. The surface is imbued with earthy, metallic tones and rhythmic geometric repetitions, referencing the aesthetic vocabulary of the NP2 movement (Nerone & Patuzzi) and the works of Gianni Pinna. Measuring 100 × 160 cm (39.4 × 63 in), this substantial piece can be displayed vertically or horizontally, either mounted on the wall or placed directly on the floor, depending on the spatial context. Highly decorative and entirely unique, this work is both a sculptural statement and a testament to the vibrant material culture of 1970s Italian art.

Nerone & Patuzzi Zinc Headboard Panel, Italy, 1970s
By Nerone and Patuzzi
Located in Hellouw, NL
This Nerone & Patuzzi zinc head panel, produced in the seventies, stands as a remarkable example of artistic expression. Crafted by Nerone Cecciarelli and Giancarlo Patuzzi, masters of working with forms of zinc, this piece showcases a beautiful example of that. The zinc is skillfully treated with acid, resulting in an interplay of light across its surfaces, where smooth and shiny areas contrast with rough and dark textures. The head panel's design features lines that meticulously trace furrows and define distinct surfaces, each possessing a stark and essential geometry. The deliberate arrangement of shapes creates a harmonious composition that captures the viewer's attention. The artist's technique produces a relief effect, adding depth and dimension to the forms on the panel. Within this abstract artwork, one cannot help but notice echoes of avant-garde pioneers like Joan Miró and Picasso...
