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

Main 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 in steel, acrylic and fluorescent tubes.

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

In April 1968 the historic Turin Contemporary Art Gallery "Il Punto", directed by Remo Pastori, dedicated to him a famous solo exhibition presented by art critic Aldo Passoni.

His works periodically appear at modern and contemporary art auctions, Italian and international, including Sant’Agostino Casa d’Aste, Meeting Art, Wannenes and Studio d'Arte Borromeo.

The artist’s prints, pochoirs and screenprints are preserved and traded by galleries specializing in twentieth-century graphics, such as the international platform Place des Arts.
