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

The artist’s search draws on the great tradition of Italian outfolding, 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 dialoguing with the material force of Alberto Burri and the sculptural monumentalism of Arnaldo Pomodoro, up to the monochrome and analytical explorations of Bernard Aubertin and the poetic sensibility of Giorgio Morandi. In this tradition, the pictorial surface becomes a living, vibrant body, sensitive to light and to the gaze.

Within 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 imagination ideally dialogues with artists and movements ranging from Banksy, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, to the urban culture linked 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 more contemporary iterations 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.

Parallelly, his visual sensibility feeds a pop-luxury and collectible aesthetics, where icons of design, fashion and contemporary lifestyle—from Hermès, Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Bulgari to the collectors’ world around Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Daytona, Nautilus, Richard Mille— coexist with references to serigraphy, art printing, vinyl, analog photography, cinema, tin toys, and the visual memory of the twentieth century.

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

The distinctive hallmark of Alessandro Alteo lies in the synthesis between geometric rigor and emotional lyricism, where the circle becomes a universal sign, a visual archetype and a space for contemplation.
This work thus stands as a bridge between the analytic and outfolding Italian tradition and a urban and contemporary sensibility, presenting itself as a piece of strong identity, visual impact and aesthetic recognizability in the contemporary art scene.
