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 roots itself in 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 material force of Alberto Burri and the sculptural monumental presence of Arnaldo Pomodoro, up to the monochrome and analytical explorations of Bernard Aubertin and the poetic sensitivity of Giorgio Morandi. In this vein, the pictorial surface becomes a living, vibrant body, responsive to light and 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 ideals 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.

Paralleling this, his visual sensibility feeds on a pop-luxury and collecting aesthetics, where icons of design, fashion and contemporary lifestyle – from Hermès, Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Bulgari to the collectors’ imagery linked 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.

Alfredo Alteo’s distinctive signature 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 constitutes a bridge between the analytic and extrofless Italian seasons and a urban and contemporary sensibility, presenting itself as a piece with strong identity, visual impact and aesthetic recognizability in the contemporary art landscape.
