A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - The square is perhaps the most fundamental and powerful symbol of order, stability, and rationality in art. Far from being a simple shape, it embodies the human desire for structure and completeness, often symbolizing the earth and the material world. Psychologically, the square offers a feeling of groundedness and permanence, serving as a clean, universal canvas for artistic exploration. In the 20th century, the square became the bedrock of artistic modernism. The Russian Suprematist Kazimir Malevich made it a revolutionary statement with his iconic Black Square (1915). Post-1950, Minimalist and Conceptual artists pushed this theme further. The American artist Josef Albers dedicated much of his career to exploring the interaction of color within the confined geometry of the square in his influential series Homage to the Square (1950–1976). The photographer Bernd and Hilla Becher utilized the square format in their systematic photographic typologies of industrial structures, imposing strict, rational geometry upon their subjects. This collection celebrates the enduring power of the square as a form and a concept.
