Vincenzo Frattini

Vincenzo Frattini's work is halfway between painting and sculpture, generating a series of visual 'objects' - cubes, parallelepipedi, cylinders, trapezoids - which creep into space, stimulating an active relationship with the observer led to measure himself with the work and the space that contains it.
Recalling to himself a 'concrete' conception of art that leads the analysis of the formative processes of the work to a direct intervention on the real, that is, that abstract-geometric tradition, which from De Stijl goes through some of the main artistic events of the twentieth century, up to Minimalism, influencing in Italy experiences such as those of the Roman Forma group 1 and of the Concrete Art Movement (MAC), Frattini is interested - as he himself claims - in an investigation of the procedural aspects of the work, in its processing stages, synthesis and production.
