Blu 1971

"Blu" is a 1971 work by Italian artist Agostino Bonalumi, who is known for his contributions to *Arte Povera*, a movement that explored the use of everyday materials in art. This piece exemplifies Bonalumi's exploration of the illusion of depth, where the canvas is subtly manipulated to create a visual ripple, playing with the viewer's perception of space and form. Bonalumi's work challenges traditional notions of painting by emphasizing the materiality of the canvas, highlighting its physical presence.
