About the Item

Zinc wall panel, etched with point and acid, patinated, and painted by Nerone Ceccarelli and Giancarlo Patuzzi. Nerone etched the metal panels, which he then mounted directly on the wall and treated with acids to enhance the contrasts of light. This panel was designed and executed using a similar technique. Unique piece. Signed. Sold with its certificate of authenticity issued by the Saar Ceccarelli Foundation in Turin. Biography Group NP2 (1962-1988) The « Gruppo NP2 », of which Nerone Ceccarelli is one of the founders, was created around 1962. Its members were Giovanni Ceccarelli (known as Nerone), Gianni Patuzzi, Luigi Marchisotti, Dedalo Montali, Jolanda Novi, Lucia Petrocchi, Virgilio Petrocchi and Raoul Portale. These artists had joined forces and tried, in the search for harmony and functionality, to find in a new plastic and artistic creation a modern definition to marry art and architecture both interiors and exteriors. In the years 1974 and 1975, Gianni Patuzzi left the NP2 Group, but Nerone transformed the company into an individual company GRUPPO NP2/NERONE and continued operating in the sector until 1988. Nerone Ceccarelli (1937-1996) Italian sculptor, founder of the “Gruppo NP2”. Nerone Ceccarelli (born Giovanni Ceccarelli in 1937) was an Italian artist and sculptor, who constantly sought to integrate different creative media such as architecture, painting, sculpture and design. His work is characterized by an abstract geometric vocabulary. With his friend Giancarlo Patuzzi, he founded the NP2 group (initials of Nerone and Patuzzi) in Turin in 1962. This group involved other artists (Piercarlo Ceccarelli, Nerone’s brother, Jolanda Novi, Luigi Marchisotti, Dedalo Montali, Lucia Petrocchi, Virgilio Petrocchi, Raoul Portal, Piercarlo Iorio, Evian Medici, Luciano Patetta, Nicoletta Medici, Carlo Mollino and Angelo Cortesi) with the aim of freeing art from the constraints of museums and galleries and making it accessible to the majority of the public. Their innovative approach resulted in the use of various materials such as aluminum, copier, wood, concrete and marble for monumental sculptures, panels and furniture. From the outset, they have exhibited their work abroad, in the USA and Canada. Giangarlo Patuzzi left the group in 1974. In 1972, Nerone and Patuzzi designed and executed a large-scale mural of etched and patinated metal panels, installed in the “Emiciclo” of the European Parliament in Luxembourg, one of the largest works of etched metal in the world. Nerone engraved the metal panels, which he then assembled directly on the wall and treated with acids to enhance light contrasts. To find out more, read the Wikipedia page (Italian)

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...
