Original work by Alessandro Alteo, characterized by a red monochrome surface, capable of generating a refined dialogue between light and shadow, matter and space.

The artist’s research has its roots in the great tradition of Italian extrusion, inspired by the formal elegance and plastic tension of masters such as Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Paolo Scheggi, Lucio Fontana, Turi Simeti and Giuseppe Amadio, while also dialoguing with the material strength of Alberto Burri and the sculptural monumentality of Arnaldo Pomodoro, up to the monochrome and analytical explorations of Bernard Aubertin and the poetic sensibility of Giorgio Morandi. In this tradition, the painterly surface becomes a living, vibrating body, sensitive to light and gaze.

Within a modern abstraction, Alteo builds a personal language that opens to modern and contemporary art, integrating influences from minimalism, Pop Art and especially Street Art and Graffiti writing. His imagery idealistically dialogues with artists and movements ranging from Banksy, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, to urban culture related to Shepard Fairey (OBEY), JR, Invader, Space Invader, Jef Aérosol, C215, Futura 2000, COPE2, Vhils, D*Face, Os Gemeos, JonOne, Alec Monopoly, Speedy Graphito, Hayden Kays, Kev Munday, Chanoir.

Up to the contemporary declinations of the international urban and post-graffiti scene, with figures such as Sandra Chevrier, Handiedan, Chuck Sperry, Borondo, PichiAvo, Orticanoodles, Inti, Saner, M-City, Levalet, Cranio, Dan23, DZIA, Hom Nguyen and André Saraiva, Mario Merz, Lucio Fontana.

Parallely, his visual sensibility draws on a pop-luxury and collecting aesthetics, where icons of design, fashion and the contemporary lifestyle – from Hermès, Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Bulgari to the collector’s imaginarium connected to Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Daytona, Nautilus, Richard Mille – coexist with references to screen printing, art printing, vinyl, analog photography, cinema, tin toys and the visual memory of the twentieth century.

There are also cultured references to art history, from Mario Schifano to Joan Miró, from Salvador Dalí to Pierre Soulages, contributing to strengthen the conceptual and visual dimension of the work between abstraction, matter and light.

Alberto Alteo’s distinctive hallmark lies in the synthesis between geometric rigor and emotional lyricism, where the circle becomes a universal sign, a visual archetype and a space of contemplation.
Thus, this work sets up as a bridge between the analytic and extrusion Italian seasons and an urban, contemporary sensibility, presenting itself as a work with strong identity, visual impact, and aesthetic recognizability in the contemporary art landscape.
