“Concept Spatial,” crafted by Lucio Fontana in 1965, is an abstract artwork that emerges from the Spatialism art movement. The medium used is canvas, and it measures 65 x 81.3 cm. The artwork exemplifies Fontana’s innovative approach to conceptual art.
The artwork presents a vivid yellow canvas accentuated by a series of precise, parallel slashes running vertically across its surface. These incisions evoke a sense of depth and dimension, inviting the viewer to contemplate the space beyond the canvas itself. The piece exemplifies Fontana’s groundbreaking exploration into the spatial qualities of art, transcending the conventional two-dimensional plane. The stark simplicity and bold execution create a powerful visual impact, characteristic of the abstract genre. The monochromatic yellow background provides a striking contrast to the dark inner spaces revealed by each cut, highlighting the tension between surface and depth, presence and absence.
