Claudio D’Angelo: Ipotesi Progettuale

This show in Milan presents works made from the 1960s until the 2000s, but their fulcrum is, however, to be found in the 1970s, a particularly important period for the research of the artist. The works are part of the series “Ipotesi progettuale, Progetto di spazio, Analysis situs, Iter(azione)”. We find ourselves in front of a pensive artist for whom the dimension of thought was primary.

The artist, who died some years ago, and his art are difficult to place within a group or movement since his works show a continuous repetition of the same structural element that cannot be considered a work of Optical Art and even less so is it linked to a perceptive dimension. We are, rather, faced with an artistic free agent whose language is traced out by marks to which he entrusts the whole surface of his canvases, drawings, and graphics.
