Superficie Bianca 1967

"Superficie Bianca" (1967) by Italian artist Enrico Castellani is a minimalist work of art that exemplifies the artist’s signature style of "surface painting." The piece is characterized by its subtle manipulation of the canvas, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Through a series of precisely placed indentations, Castellani evokes a sense of depth and movement on the otherwise flat surface, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork's tactile qualities. Castellani's "Superficie Bianca" is an exceptional example of his exploration of abstract form and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, characteristic of the Italian "Arte Povera" movement, which emerged in the 1960s.
