// Feu by Niele Toroni, a limited edition offset print from 1990, exemplifies Toroni's conceptual approach and minimalist aesthetic. This artwork combines text and imagery, with the word FEU (meaning fire in French) subtly arranged across a predominantly white section of the print. Above, a dark, abstracted photograph adds a layer of contrast, suggesting a scene or a memory that’s obscured, as if viewed through smoke or haze. Toroni, known for his methodical approach to pattern and repetition, here uses restraint, allowing the viewer to ponder the relationship between text and image, language, and interpretation. This work’s simplicity and ambiguity invite introspection on themes of memory and fleeting moments.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
