Alberto Biasi - Draw

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and pure colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

This work exemplifies the artistic research of Alberto Biasi, who can be considered one of the greatest exponents of optical-kinetic art. All his works are constructed on the basis of optical illusions, allowing perception to change depending on the viewpoint. In this case, the artist seeks an ostentatious depth in the central part of the composition, thanks to the vanishing of parallel lines. The entire work is characterized by extreme geometric rationality, and the execution references technical drawing, embodying its elegance and precision. The same characteristics are found in the gray used to create evocative nuances that further reference illusionist techniques.

Alberto Biasi was born in Padua in 1937, where he lives and works. He is one of the leading exponents of Kinetic Art both in Italy and abroad. From 1959 to 1967, he worked with the ENNE group, before continuing his career alone. Biasi participated in countless initiatives and experiments during the peak of optical-kinetic art, becoming a key figure in that scene alongside Getulio Alviani and Gianni Colombo. He has held numerous exhibitions, including "Nove Tendencije" in Zagreb and the major exhibition "The Responsive Eye" at the MoMA in New York. In 1988, the retrospective "Biasi and the ENNE Group" was presented at the Venice Biennale.
