Agostino Bonalumi (1935–2013), a leading figure in postwar Italian art, redefined the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and space through his mastery of "extroflexion." Influenced by Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, Bonalumi founded the journal Azimuth in 1959. His rigorous poetics centered on the tension of the canvas and the dynamic relationship between light and form.

Bonalumi's mature cycle, exemplified in this work, balances structural tension and chromatic purity. The monochrome blue surface, intersected by reliefs and deformations, generates a plastic rhythm that transforms the canvas into a three-dimensional body. Light, interacting with the extroflexions, creates ever-changing vibrations and shadows, adding a sculptural dimension to perception. In Blu (2007), painting becomes space and color becomes living matter, creating a controlled expanse in which form coincides with the energy that generates it.

Bonalumi's extroverted monochrome works, central to his oeuvre and highly sought after by international collectors, have been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Palazzo Te (Mantua), the Institut Mathildenhöhe (Darmstadt), and the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca (Rome). They are also in the permanent collections of the Tate Modern (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis). Bonalumi participated in the Venice Biennale three times: in 1966, in 1970 with a solo exhibition, and in 1986.
