Enrico Castellani White surface signed, titled and dated (on the back) acrylic on extroflexed canvas 100 x 70 cm Executed in 2006 Work registered at the Castellani Archive, Celleno, with no. 06-33 Provenance: Sergio Albanese Collection, Rome Private Collection, Belgium Edouard Simoens Gallery, Knokke Enrico Castellani (Castelmassa, Aug. 4, 1930 - Celleno, Dec. 1, 2017) Great animator of Italian art in the 1960s, after some early experiences of an informal nature inspired by American action painting, he approached the Spatialism of Lucio Fontana with the intention of seeking the third dimension of the canvas. He creates from this moment monochrome surfaces animated by bulges and folds obtained by shaping the frame, or supporting the canvas with ribs or nails that stretch its surface. Castellani in this way gives a plastic version of optical-perceptual research by bringing them to form rhythmic-spatial modulations and optical ambiguities, provoking in the viewer a sensation of motion of the surface, which appears modulated through a play of light and shadow.
