Lucio Fontana – Concetto Spaziale, Paris Gallery

5 October 2017 · Paris

Fontana's 'Concetto spaziale' (1957) mounted behind acrylic on a white gallery wall in Paris. The punctured canvas holds two ideas at once — the surface is the wound and the surface is the geometry, each perforation both rupture and mark. Warm grey tones shift across the canvas in soft architectural planes, the scattered holes forming a loose constellation that sits somewhere between drawing and destruction. Gallery documentation as its own subject.
