Description : Senza titolo

Mixed technique on plywood. Signed and dated on the reverse. It is an early work by Gioppè di Bella, the artist originally from Trapani who, having moved to Milan and frequenting his artistic milieu, came to become one of the exponents of Optical Art. Gioppe Di Bella starting from 1972, seeking the essence of forms, he arrived at the first geometric works, in which the circle became the basic element. The work proposed here belongs to this period, a rigorously geometric and orderly composition of chipboard cylinders, painted in different ranges of blue-azure, and applied on an aluminum sheet mounted on a plywood panel. Di Bella progressively approached the liberation from two-dimensionality, and from 1975 to 1985, he began to create large tableaux using modern technology materials, such as specular plexiglass, stainless steel and polyurethane foam, thus tackling the problem of optical illusion and the constancy of form.

Additional Information

Artist: Gioppe Di Bella (1945-2007)

Born in Trapani in 1945, Gioppe Di Bella arrived in Milan when he was just twenty and, in the Sixties and Seventies, a period of great artistic ferment, he began his solitary research work, aimed at acquiring new aesthetic spaces, conducted in the essence of form. Regular visitor to the studios of Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, Hidetoshi Nagasawa, Luciano Fabro and many others. drawing on their closeness and the knowledge of the entire MID group, the artists of Optical and kineticism, Di Bella arrived at those solutions of large tableaux using materials of modern technology. In particular he came to define as his peculiar production technique the use of the double canvas which leaves the possibility of threading, engraving the artistic medium referring to the "cuts" of Lucio Fontana. In fact, the canvas is folded back on itself, knotted and modeled, giving us even more the idea of movement, thanks to the play of shadows and lights, in which geometry appears as the dominant note but which is continually reworked. Thanks to different materials including plexiglass (mirror) and acrylic on shaped canvas, the artist investigated the concept of two-dimensionality, to then finally reach, in the most recent works, a three-dimensionality that resulted in sculpture. Di Bella set up exhibitions in Italy (Sesto San Giovanni, Monza, Milan), but also at the Grand Palais in Paris and later in most of Germany (Frankfurt, Bonn, Eschborn, Hanau).
