Through Eternity 1960

Oronzo Vito Gasparo created this enigmatic painting, "Through Eternity," using oil on canvas. Immediately striking is the painting’s architectural perspective, dominated by red brick archways receding into an infinite, though clearly illusory, vanishing point. This rigorous structure is softened by a subtle, almost pastel palette, creating a somewhat dreamlike quality. The black and white checkered floor introduces a disorienting effect, destabilizing our sense of space and depth. Gasparo masterfully plays with formal elements to create a visual paradox. The meticulous rendering of the bricks and the arches suggests a concern with structure and order, yet the overall effect borders on the surreal. It challenges our expectations of perspective, inviting us to question the stability of perception itself. The painting ultimately functions as a meditation on infinity, illusion, and the human desire to impose order on the infinite.
