Superficie alluminio 1969

"Superficie alluminio" (1969) by Italian artist Enrico Castellani is a prime example of his signature "superficie" style. This minimalist artwork features a grid of evenly spaced indentations on a flat aluminum surface. The subtle variations in light and shadow created by the depressions draw the viewer's eye across the surface, playing with our perception of depth and texture. Castellani's work challenged traditional notions of painting by focusing on the materiality of the canvas and the interaction between light and form.
