"Cromoblock. Riccardo Ten Colombo".

Edited by Ilaria Bignotti
Exhibition Period: 14 January - 14 May 2021

"Cromoblock" is the new project by the artist Riccardo Ten Colombo: on magnetic boards, equilateral triangles and rectangular triangles in iron painted with industrial colours are arranged according to a precise design created by the artist, forming compositions of cubes and parallelepipeds that stand out and seem to emerge from the black background, thanks to the three-dimensional illusion that their assemblage gives back to the eye. A plastic power and a dynamic energy, together with a remarkable formal polish, make these works magnetic even for the eye, which is attracted to the generative field of forms and at the same time called upon to analyse the compositional process. But the visual seduction attracts the observer in order to invite him to a generative intervention: the compositional elements can be decomposed and remodelled on the table that attracts and composes them. Visual perception and experience demand an interactive reaction from the spectator, who is called upon to enjoy the work dynamically and freely.

What will happen?
Not even the artist knows: the artwork, brought into the world by its own creative and constructive capacity, can be transformed every time by its owner.
