Description

The work consists of a white painted canvas applied to a wooden frame and nails that stretch it, forming reliefs arranged in a regular way.

Castellani, after having made his debut in the 1950s with informal works, approaches Fontana, then creating monochrome surfaces animated by bulges and folds obtained by shaping the frame or supporting the canvas with ribs or nails that stretch the surface. The work in question, dated 1970, is placed halfway between a painted canvas and a sculptural bas-relief. The artist offers proof of his optical-perceptive researches on a monochrome background with the canvas everted and inverted by means of nails that modify its surface. This visual and material research carried out through the tension of the canvas causes in the viewer a sensation of motion of the surface, which appears modulated through a play of light and shadow. One of the fundamental characters in Castellani's works is precisely the vibrating sense, rendered through the rhythmic and plastic sense of the surfaces.
