Description

The Milanese minimalist artist Roberto Aricò found influences for his painterly wall sculptures in the Arte Povera movement, early American Pop Art and artists such as Donald Judd and Frank Stella. His works open up into space and play with the illusion of three-dimensionality and infinite perspective. Aricò was represented twice at the Venice Biennale in the 1960s, the time when this convincingly clear white canvas construction was created. In the following years, Aricò perfected his ability to create the impression of depth and three-dimensionality through surface structures and subtle layers of colour. The boundaries between object and image, surface and space are never clearly defined.
