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

The artist’s research draws its roots from the great tradition of Italian extroflexion, inspired by the formal elegance and plastic tension of masters such as Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Paolo Scheggi, Turi Simeti and Giuseppe Amadio, while at the same time dialoguing with the material force of Alberto Burri and the sculptural monumentalidad of Arnaldo Pomodoro. In this vein, the pictorial surface becomes a living, vibrant body, sensitive to light and to the gaze.

Inside 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 dialogues idealistically with artists and movements ranging from Banksy, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Koons, Shepard Fairey (OBEY), JR, Invader, Space Invader, Jef Aerosol, C215, Futura 2000, COPE2, Vhils, D*Face, Os Gemeos, Seth, Speedy Graphito, JonOne, Alec Monopoly, up to figures such as Sandra Chevrier, Handiedan, Chuck Sperry, Borondo, PichiAvo, Orticanoodles, Saner, Inti, M-City, Levalet, Dan23, DZIA, Cranio, Dillon Boy.

Meanwhile, his visual sensibility is nourished by a pop-luxury and collectible aesthetic, where icons of design, fashion and contemporary lifestyle – from Hermès, Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Bulgari, to symbolic references like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Daytona, Nautilus, Richard Mille – coexist with vintage, analog photography, cinema, music, tin toys and the visual memory of the 20th century.

There are cultured references to art history as well, from Mario Schifano to Joan Miró, from Salvador Dalí to Pierre Soulages, which contribute to reinforcing the conceptual dimension of the work.

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 extroflex Italian season and a modern urban contemporary sensibility, presenting itself on Catawiki as a work of class, identity and strong aesthetic recognizability.
