LUCIO FONTANA - CONCETTO SPAZIALE (Spatial Concept)
Painting by Lucio Fontana, from Original Concetto Spaziale
Title: Concetto Spaziale
Artist: Lucio Fontana (Italian, 1899–1968)
Medium: Oil, gold leaf, and perforations on canvas
Dimensions:
Description:
Concetto Spaziale (Spatial Concept), Lucio Fontana transcends the two-dimensional limits of traditional painting. At the heart of the canvas lies a swirling planetary form rendered in lustrous gold, set against a rich, celestial field of blue. True to Fontana’s radical vision, the surface is punctuated by a constellation of deliberate perforations, creating literal and conceptual depth.
Lucio Fontana's Concetto Spaziale works marked a groundbreaking shift in postwar art, merging painting, sculpture, and conceptualism. This piece, with its dynamic textures, tactile incisions, and cosmic overtones, exemplifies Fontana’s revolutionary aim to open the artwork to new dimensions—literally piercing the veil of representation to embrace the void beyond.
