Pino Pinelli Retrospective at Merchant House Amsterdam
Merchant House in Amsterdam is hosting 'Disseminations,' a retrospective of Italian Analytical Painting master Pino Pinelli (born Catania, 1938). The exhibition surveys Pinelli's practice since the 1970s, where he deconstructs painting by scattering fragments of pigment and matter across gallery walls, emulating a sower casting seeds. His works feature simple, regular forms and primary colors (red, yellow, blue), echoing Piet Mondrian and coinciding with the centenary of De Stijl, to which Merchant House has also dedicated a show.
