Original work by Alessandro Alteo, characterized by a red monochrome surface, able to generate a refined dialogue between light and shadow, matter and space.

The artist’s research traces its roots to the great tradition of Italian extrusion, drawing inspiration from 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 physical force of Alberto Burri and the monumental sculptural nature of Arnaldo Pomodoro, up to the monochrome and analytic explorations of Bernard Aubertin and the poetic sensibility of Giorgio Morandi. In this vein, the painted surface becomes a living, vibrant body, sensitive to light and to the 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 imaginary 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 the urban culture connected with 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 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.

Parallelly, his visual sensibility is fed by 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’ imaginary of Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Daytona, Nautilus, Richard Mille – coexist with references to screen printing, art prints, vinyl, analog photography, cinema, tin toys and the visual memory of the Twentieth Century.

There are also cultivated 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.

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 contemplative space. This work thus configures itself as a bridge between the analytical and extrusion Italian seasons and a urban and contemporary sensibility, presenting itself as a piece with strong identity, visual impact and aesthetic recognizability in the panorama of contemporary art.
