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

The artist’s research takes root in the great Italian tradition of extroflexion, 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 engaging 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 lineage, 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, above all, Street Art and Graffiti writing. His imaginary dialogually resonates 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 tied 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 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.

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

There are also erudite 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 space of contemplation.

This work thus configurations as a bridge between the analytical and extroflex Italian season and a urban, contemporary sensibility, presenting itself as a piece with strong identity, visual impact and aesthetic recognizability in the contemporary art scene.
