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 has roots in the great Italian extrusion tradition, drawing inspiration from the formal elegance and plastic tension of masters such as Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Paolo Scheggi, Turi Simeti, and Giuseppe Amadio, while dialoguing with the material force of Alberto Burri and the sculptural monumentalism of Arnaldo Pomodoro. In this tradition, the painted surface becomes a living, vibrant body, sensitive to light and gaze.

Within a modern abstract context, 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, 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, to figures such as Sandra Chevrier, Handiedan, Chuck Sperry, Borondo, PichiAvo, Orticanoodles, Saner, Inti, M-City, Levalet, Dan23, DZIA, Cranio, Dillon Boy.

At the same time, his visual sensibility is nourished by a pop-luxury and collector’s 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 references, analog photography, cinema, music, 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, which contribute to strengthening the conceptual dimension of the work.

Alessandro Alteo’s distinctive hallmark 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 appears as a bridge between the analytical and extruded Italian seasons and an urban, contemporary sensibility, presenting itself on Catawiki as a piece of class, identity, and strong aesthetic recognizability.
