Agostino Bonalumi (b. 1935 Italy, d. 2013 Italy) was an Italian artist renowned for his contributions to abstract art and shaped canvas techniques. A key figure in the post-war Italian avant-garde, Bonalumi is best known for his "extroflections," a technique in which he shaped and manipulated canvases to create three-dimensional reliefs that extend beyond the traditional flat surface.

His work is characterized by a rigorous exploration of form, space, and light, often using monochromatic palettes to emphasize the play of shadows and the tactile quality of the canvas. Bonalumi was associated with the Zero movement and worked alongside artists like Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni, with whom he shared a fascination for breaking the boundaries between painting and sculpture. His innovative approach to surface and form has been widely recognized, with his works being exhibited in major art institutions such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. (Artist website)

What is geometric abstract art?

Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
