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 search 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 also dialoguing with the material force of Alberto Burri and the sculptural monumentality of Arnaldo Pomodoro. In this lineage, the pictorial surface transforms into a living body, vibrant, sensitive to light and 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 imagery idealistically 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 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 symbolic references such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Daytona, Nautilus, Richard Mille—coexist with references to vintage, 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.

Alfredo 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 of contemplation.

This work thus configures itself as a bridge between the analytical and Italian extrusion era and a contemporary urban sensibility, presenting on Catawiki as a work of class, identity and strong aesthetic recognizability.
