Enrico Castellani is an Italian artist, considered, together with Piero Manzoni and Agostino Bonalumi, one of the most vibrant parts of the Italian art of the 60s. The philosophy that lies at the base of his creations is based on resetting of tradition through the minimization of canvas, brushes and colors.



The monochrome canvases, most of the time white, stretched on tips that models from the rear, are the hallmark of Castellani. The three-dimensional surface tends to exalt his perceptiveness. The artist's intention was that the works were not interpretable, impersonal, and that no one could reconduct them to a hand or a creative mind.



The canvas is transformed into a careful mathematical calculation, a regular lattice, divided into equal parts and symmetrical. Idea and implementation arise inseparably from each other as in a multiple birth.
