Castellani E Castellani

Exhibition of recent paintings by Enrico Castellani. The Angolare (?Angular?) series consists of twelve painted works from 1960-1965 for which Castellani fabricated corner-shaped armatures that impose concave and convex curvatures on the canvas, yielding subtly disorienting perceptual and spatial effects. In this exhibition, Castellani reconsiders the Angolare works for the first time since 1965, expanding the series? monochromes painted black, red, or white? with five that display a silvery surface. The metallic, reflective pigment activates and thickens the surfaces of the works, enhancing their sculptural, even kinetic, quality while creating an ethereal presence. (From the gallery website).
