I do not want to

‘I do not want to make a painting; I want to open up space, create a new dimension, tie in the cosmos, as it endlessly expands beyond the confining plane of the picture.’ – Lucio Fontana — Throughout his career, the Italian artist and pioneering figure of the Arte Povera movement created art with the goal of breaking through the rigid two-dimensionality of traditional picture plane. In his iconic ‘Concetti Spaziale’ series of canvases filled with cuts or puncture marks, Fontana created a new way of approaching the painted surface that has remained an unforgettable body of work in the history of 20th-century art. — Shown here: Lucio Fontana, ‘Concetto Spaziale’ (1961) presented by @GalleriaTega during our June #artbaselOVR ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #luciofontana #artepovera #painting #galleriatega #italianart
