Mauro Castellani's 'Lavori in corso' at Museo Nuova Era, Bari
Mauro Castellani's solo exhibition 'Lavori in corso' at Museo Nuova Era in Bari, curated by Rosemarie Sansonetti, showcases acrylic works that explore spatial perception through vertical lines intersecting geometric figures. Castellani, born in Fano in 1948, uses a palette dominated by black and white with accents of yellow, turquoise, and brown to create optical illusions that destabilize the viewer's sense of fullness and emptiness. His style blends minimalism and optical art, challenging Euclidean geometry and opening windows into hyperspace. The artist states he aims not to evoke emotions but to disorient the observer, making it impossible to distinguish between solid and void. The exhibition runs at the museum in Bari.
