"Superficie Bianca" (1985) by Enrico Castellani is a prime example of the artist's signature style of "Superficie" (surface) paintings. Characterized by their minimal, abstract nature, these works explore the manipulation of paint and surface to create subtle variations in texture and light. The canvas features a grid pattern of indentations, which play with light and shadow to create a subtle, yet captivating optical effect. This piece embodies Castellani's exploration of the relationship between two-dimensional surfaces and the viewer's perception of depth.
