A friend and close collaborator of Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, with whom he founded the magazine Azimuth in 1959, Bonalumi pursued a radical research path that transcended traditional two-dimensionality, transforming the canvas into a sculptural object capable of interacting with light and the surrounding space. His career is marked by exhibitions in major museums around the world, from the Venice Biennale (1966, 1970, 1986) to retrospectives in prestigious venues such as Palazzo Te in Mantua and the Accademia di San Luca in Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis monochrome blue canvas, created in the artist's final years, represents the essence of his research. The surface is traversed by tensions generated by underlying structures that deform the picture plane, creating extrusions and volumes that rise like plastic waves. The single color, applied with absolute rigor, enhances the interplay of shadows and reflections, transforming painting into sculpture and inviting the viewer to perceive its variations as the light changes. In this work, monochrome becomes a means to achieve total formal purity, in which matter and space coincide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zaphira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61006183366986,"sku":null,"price":72000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/5095\/4314\/files\/AgostinoBonalumi-Blu_2011.jpg?v=1770058838","url":"https:\/\/zaphiragroup.com\/products\/agostino-bonalumi-blu-2011-stropless-canvas-and-acrylic-60-90-cm","provider":"Zaphira","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
