Carton with plexiglass // Inter-Ena Cubo by Paolo Scheggi, created in 1965, is a striking exploration of depth and spatial perception through the use of mixed media. This work combines cardboard and plexiglass, arranged in a grid of sixteen circular cutouts, each half-filled with a contrasting gradient that creates an illusion of three-dimensionality. Scheggi’s use of layered materials invites viewers to engage with the interplay of light and shadow, evoking a sense of movement within the static form. The geometric repetition and muted tones contribute to a minimalist yet dynamic composition, typical of Scheggi’s engagement with spatial concepts during the 1960s. Measuring 41 cm by 41 cm with a depth of 11 cm, this piece exemplifies the artist’s commitment to challenging the boundaries between surface and space.

What is Spatialism?
Spatialism is an art movement that originated in Italy in 1947, founded by Lucio Fontana with the intention of synthesizing sound, color, movement, and space into a new form of art. The movement's central ideas were outlined in Fontana's first manifesto, published in 1947, where he introduced the concept of spatial art to capture the spirit of the post-war era. His ideas were further developed in five subsequent manifestos. Although Fontana's ideas were sometimes considered vague, his influence was significant, as he was one of the first European artists to emphasize art as a performance and gesture.
