Luis Tomasello – Grille Chromoplastique B, 2012 – Mixed media

Plastic and Aluminium

Grille Chromoplastique B by Luis Tomasello is a mixed-media sculpture that explores light and color through geometric abstraction. This piece, crafted from plastic and aluminum, features a grid structure that protrudes from the wall, creating dynamic shadows and color reflections. Within the intersecting squares, a subtle play of red and green hues emerges, appearing to float in the grid’s depths. The interaction of light across the grid shifts as viewers move, inviting them to experience the changing colors and shadows. Tomasello’s work is known for engaging with kinetic and optical art principles, emphasizing movement and perception in static forms.

Luis Tomasello (Argentina, 1915–2014) was an Argentine artist renowned for his contributions to kinetic and optical art. His signature 'Atmosphères chromoplastiques' series features white reliefs that manipulate light and shadow to create dynamic visual effects. Tomasello's innovative use of color reflection and geometric forms has been exhibited internationally, solidifying his legacy in contemporary art.

Mixed media

Mixed mediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

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.
