AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Artist: Giovanni Contardi
Title: Chromatic Modules III
Year: 2026
Medium: Rubik’s Cube mosaic (wall sculpture)
Materials: 48 original Rubik’s Cubes, MDF panel, archival industrial adhesive
Dimensions: 45.8 × 34.3 × 7.8 cm
Edition: Unique work

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with archival hologram.

‘Chromatic Modules III’ continues an ongoing exploration of colour, repetition and structure through a concentric composition of original Rubik’s Cubes.

From the front, the work has an ordered, almost architectural quality.
Viewed from an angle, its physical depth and the adjacent faces of the cubes become visible, extending the composition beyond the frontal surface.

Each ‘Chromatic Modules’ work is unique and numbered in the order in which it was created.
A new composition is developed only when there is a different rhythm, balance or tension to explore.
The first two works were sold earlier in 2026, making ‘Chromatic Modules III’ the only one currently available.

Giovanni Contardi is an Italian artist internationally recognised for his mosaics created entirely from original Rubik’s Cubes. His installations are permanently exhibited at the Rossini National Museum in Italy and at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel at Disneyland Paris.

His work was also mentioned by Ernő Rubik, inventor of the Rubik’s Cube, in his autobiographical book Cubed: The Puzzle of Us All (2020).

Selected works, installations, and process documentation are shared on Instagram under the name JVENB.
