Superficie rossa 2006

"Superficie rossa" (2006) is a vibrant example of Italian artist Enrico Castellani's signature style, characterized by a minimalist aesthetic and intricate textural manipulation. The artwork, a deep red canvas, is punctuated by a grid of subtly raised, oval-shaped indentations. This tactile surface, created through Castellani's unique method of pushing the canvas material outward, plays with light and shadow, creating a dynamic interplay between the flat plane and the illusion of depth. The work exemplifies Castellani's exploration of the physical properties of paint and canvas, captivating viewers with its subtle shifts in texture and color.
