Gianni Asdrubali Zeimekke, 2015 Acrylic on canvas 72 1/5 × 46 7/10 in (183.5 × 118.5 cm)
Gianni Asdrubali is an Italian abstract painter, best known for his large-scale works painted on either canvas or wall. Born in 1955 in Tuscania, a small town in the Lazio Region, the artist was a member of Astrazione Povera – an artistic movement active in the early 1980s in Italian art scene. [...] From the beginning of his career, Asdrubali considered the notions of space and emptiness in an innovative, unexplored way. His first significant artwork was Il Muro magico (translated as The Magic Wall), constructed from white walls that were filled up with signs, creating a dialogue with the emptiness. Based on the definition of the emptiness as the original nucleus of his art, Gianni creates pieces composed of geometrical, black or chromatic forms, suggesting shapes going beyond the visible and originating new dimensions.
