For more than sixty years, Accardi works unceasingly on an abstract painting entrusted to the integration of lines and forms, color and surface, for the definition of a grammar of identity, eliminating any symbolic or allegorical meaning of the composition and never stumbling into a decorative taste. Thus one discovers a painting capable of establishing a strong and empathetic relationship with the viewer, placing itself on a plane of relationality where the signs, ordered and gathered, have rhythms that connect them.In the canvases of the early 2000s made for the exhibition at the Valentina Bonomo Gallery, the binary contrast between raw canvas and vibrant colors reigns, which are expressed through monochrome drawings with a geometric appearance. In "Action with Circle," the rigor of the artist's work emerges, faithful to his vocabulary, simple and essential, in the exasperation of the sensation of color: the signs, enlarged, expand harmoniously over a large surface. "Color is strength. I looked for colors that would arouse a lot of contrast to make people understand, release the light, the world. I am not interested in color for its ability to procure pleasure for the sense of sight, but for its power and ability to procure stimuli. "Carla Accardi, interview by Paolo Vagheggi, in: D.
