ONDE DI LUCE - 2000

olio su acciaio | 70x70x1,5

Reduction is taken one step further, echoing Malevich’s “white system of Suprematism”*. Another aspect of this work is the artist’s growing weariness with the ubiquitous square upon which many Concrete artists relied on so much. Another work of the artist is aptly and provocatively called Requiem to the Square: the proverbial square is covered in black Astrakhan fur…

*[Consciousness lets us see movement as form. As with all forms, consciousness itself stems from unique whiteness… However, white Suprematism does not imply an ultimate limit, it is simply the white path of the movement of the white system. Thus, in the white system of Suprematism only one form of unity is achieved. Where this leads us we do not know. It is thinkable that the white square signifies beginning and end].
