23 - AGOSTINO BONALUMI (1935–2013) UNTITLED. 1983. Acrylic on stretched canvas. 70 x 70 cm. On the reverse: signature and date. The work is currently being cataloged at the Bonalumi Archive, Milan. PROVENANCE: Private collection, Trieste. Agostino Bonalumi’s artistic exploration stems from a radical rethinking of painting, in which the canvas is no longer merely a surface but becomes an autonomous object, capable of existing in space through forms, tensions, and variations in light. The 1983 work we are presenting here follows this direction, where the monochrome does not nullify the image but constructs it through relief, in a sequence of vertical protrusions concentrated in the lower part of the square format, which introduce a measured rhythm of planes and shadows. The distinctive anthracite tone absorbs the light and allows it to emerge in subtle modulations, creating a restrained yet vibrant surface that strikes a balance between geometric rigor and perceptual sensitivity.
