The artwork, entitled “Concept Spatiale”, was created by Lucio Fontana in 1959. It belongs to the art movement known as Spatialism and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork presents a minimalist and abstract composition, characterized by its stark and austere appearance. Dominated by a monochromatic palette, the canvas features two prominent vertical slashes that punctuate its serene surface. These slashes are clean and deliberate, disrupting the continuity of the canvas and introducing a three-dimensional quality. The simplicity of the design emphasizes the physicality of the canvas itself, inviting viewers to contemplate the idea of space and the interaction between the material and the void. Fontana’s work challenges traditional notions of painting, embracing a conceptual approach that seeks to explore the spatial dimensions beyond the surface of the canvas.
