About Antonio Saporito
Contemporary italian artist Antonio Saporito, live in Turin, Italy. His artistic training is influenced by the modern and contemporary figurative art of the 60s by and the masters of Italian Arte Povera.
The meeting with Lucio Fontana was particularly significant. The reflection on his work, particularly mark the development of the artistic research of Antonio Saporito.
THE GEOMETRIC SPATIALISM
The geometric spatialism is the Saporito's original research. Strongly anchored to material, this one, cut, shaped and perforated with surgical and geometric rigor, represents the synthesis of Saporito's art.
Steel, aluminum, copper and lead are wisely transformed into labyrinths of carved signs to reveal the beyond there is behind the material. The rigor and the essence that characterize his works become elements to transcend reality, to look and scan what exists behind the appearance, in the continuous search of the unknowable, of the future, of the unreachable mystery of man.
