A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - The theme of Geometry—through shapes, compositions, and lines—is a fundamental artistic pursuit, symbolizing order, intellect, universal harmony, and rational structure. Psychologically, geometric forms provide a sense of stability and often tap into humanity's desire to simplify and understand complexity.
In Art History, geometry was vital to Renaissance perspective and Gothic architecture, but in the 20th century, it became the subject itself. Pioneers like Robert Delaunay and Sonia Delaunay used pure color and geometric forms (Simultaneous Windows, 1912) to create rhythmic, non-objective art, followed by Piet Mondrian's reduction of painting to grids of primary colors (Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow, 1930). Post-1950, Minimalists embraced pure form: artist Donald Judd used elemental geometric volumes in his "Specific Objects." French Conceptual artist Daniel Buren (b. 1938) established a career around a single, rigorously geometric motif: the alternating vertical white and colored stripes of 8.7 cm wide, applied to various spaces and supports, as seen in his site-specific installation Les Deux Plateaux (1985–1986). Geometric abstraction also flourished in Op Art, exemplified by Bridget Riley's dizzying optical grids. This collection celebrates geometry as a language.
