Albers, Apollonio, Biasi, Castellani, Dadamaino, Dorazio, Pasquali, Pistoletto, Vasarely
Tornabuoni Art presents Dynamic Visions, a selection of 38 artworks exploring the major trends in Op Art, Kinetic art and Arte Programmata. In addition to the 20th-century masters Josef Albers, Marina Apollonio, Alberto Biasi, Enrico Castellani, Dadamaino, Piero Dorazio, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Victor Vasarely, the exhibition highlights the influence and topicality of their artistic research through a dialogue between the installations PLASTIC PLOT (2017) by contemporary artist Francesca Pasquali and Tuo Sei (1972) by kinetic art pioneer Alberto Biasi.
Dynamic Visions is inspired by the legendary 1965 show The Responsive Eye at MOMA in New York, which was the first exhibition to celebrate Optical and Kinetic art and Arte Programmata. This iconic show displayed international pioneers of these movements, such as Joseph Albers and Victor Vasarely, and also many Italian artists, including Enrico Castellani and Piero Dorazio. The artists Getulio Alviani and Alberto Biasi made their US debut in this show. Tornabuoni Art London has brought all of these artists together again in Dynamic Visions, together with the Italian artists Paolo Scheggi, Turi Simeti, and Gianni Colombo, who explore optical dynamics and distorted visions in their work, following different approaches.
The show also presents the pioneering women artists, Marina Apollonio and Dadamaino, whose artistic experimentation with visual perception greatly influenced younger generations of artists, including the contemporary artist Francesca Pasquali, who transforms recycled plastic into colourful polyform sculptures.
