Tela estrofelessa and Tempera // Agostino Bonalumi's Giallo (1979) is a striking mixed-media work that utilizes the technique of tela estroflessa (stretched canvas) combined with tempera. The monochromatic yellow surface is sculpted into rhythmic, three-dimensional forms, creating an interplay of light and shadow that shifts depending on the viewer's perspective. These protrusions and indentations lend a dynamic, architectural quality to the canvas, as if the artwork is emerging from within. Bonalumi’s use of a single color emphasizes the purity of form and depth, inviting contemplation of spatiality and the limits of two-dimensional surfaces in art.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
