Giorgio Griffa Solo Show

Elegant, raw and unstretched, the canvases by Italian artist Giorgio Griffa (b. 1936 in Turin) offer constellations of horizontal lines and the numerals of the golden mean in a graceful and warm minimalism. Like a melody, a rhythm or a line of poetry, these painted signs in half-tones convey a certain lyricism. This poetic sentiment imbues the oeuvre of this artist, who has remained faithful to his medium since the 1960s.

This solo presentation of the work of Giorgio Griffa features the artist’s large-format Canone Aureo canvases, characterised by their formal reduction, alongside an ensemble of earlier works comprised of arabesques, signs and numbers.
