Beppe Sesia (1916-?) - Senza titolo

For sale: a lot of 3 unique wooden works by artist Beppe Sesia, with frames very likely made directly by the painter himself on the occasion of an exhibition (as seen from the numbering on the back). Dimensions of the three works are visible by scrolling through the photos.

Beppe Sesia (1916 – 2002) was an Italian artist and sculptor associated with the movements of abstract art, mid-20th-century avant-garde painting, and kinetic or programmed art. His artistic research stood out for the rigorous use of geometries, the exploration of the mark, and the integration of innovative industrial materials for the era.

Key characteristics of his work Geometric abstraction: He focused much of his work on minimal graphic compositions, often using serial elements such as dots and lines (for example in the works Twenty-one red dots and ten black dots or Two white dots). Light sculptures: During the 1970s he experimented with light and three-dimensionality. One of his best-known series is Light on Black Wall (1971), consisting of light sculptures made of steel, plexiglass and fluorescent tubes.

He worked not only on canvas, but also by applying cardboard, metallic elements, wood and mixed media on corrugated cardboard.

In April 1968 the historic Turin-based contemporary art gallery "Il Punto", directed by Remo Pastori, dedicated to him a celebrated solo exhibition presented by art critic Aldo Passoni.

His works periodically appear at Italian and international modern and contemporary art auctions, including Sant'Agostino Casa d'Aste, Meeting Art, Wannenes and Studio d'Arte Borromeo. The artist's prints, pochoirs and serigraphs are preserved and marketed by galleries specializing in twentieth-century graphics, such as the international platform Place des Arts.
