A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - The circle is an eternal and powerful symbol in art, representing infinity, wholeness, and completion. Unlike the grounded square, the circle is associated with the celestial, the spiritual, and the cyclical nature of time. Psychologically, its perfect, unbroken form evokes a sense of harmony, protection, and boundless flow. This inherent symbolism makes the circle a compelling subject, transcending cultural and historical boundaries. The circle was central to 20th-century abstraction. Artists like Sonia Delaunay used concentric circles to explore color and motion. Post-1950, it became a primary form for Op Art and Minimalist artists. Frank Stella famously used arcs and concentric forms in his series like the Protractor Series (late 1960s) to explore non-objective painting and pure geometry. A different approach to the circle is seen in the work of painter Kenneth Noland, a key figure in Color Field painting, who used targets and concentric circles in his early 1960s canvases, such as Beginning (1960), to explore the optical effects of color interaction and placement. This collection celebrates the profound and unending inspiration of the circle.
