Davide Mineo's site-specific installation at Quartz Studio, Turin

Quartz Studio in Turin presents 'Masse non nulle', a site-specific installation by Davide Mineo (born 1992, Palermo). The work features a large polyhedral shape with iridescent chromatic tones, seemingly suspended in void, that engages the exhibition space through a dual narrative of minimal tones and a tight perspectival dialogue. Mineo's practice combines brass sheets treated with acrylic paint, airbrush, and stencil, exploring the relationship between painting, space, matter, and sculpture. The installation recalls abstract art's formal research and stylized graffiti writing. Mineo, who studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo, describes his process as starting from pictorial suggestions and instincts that become concrete, simple data observable over time. The works assume self-moving structural characteristics linked to irregular geometric modules, amplifying volumetric and spatial concepts. The dualism between painting and sculpture invites viewers to explore beyond the plane, accessing new perceptions of volume, depth, and the tension between abstraction and concreteness.
