Sergio Dangelo (1932–2022) - Artico

Immerse yourself in the lyrical and avant-garde universe of Sergio Dangelo (1932-2022), one of the brightest minds of postwar Italian abstract art and co-founder of the Nuclear Art movement. This exceptional mixed-media masterpiece, titled "Artico", stands as a supreme testimony to the "handmade" collage philosophy that distinguishes Dangelo, a creative method highly appreciated by Marcel Duchamp himself. The work reveals a surprising poetic tension: an orange sun of magnetic intensity radiates heat onto a cold crystalline structure of angular greenish-blue glaciers. Each hand-cut fragment functions as a sign, suspended in a changing violet night sky with masterful texture. Dangelo's work is rare, deeply intellectual, and intensely decorative. This is a unique opportunity for international collectors to acquire a museal-level piece by an artist who has exhibited multiple times at the Venice Biennale and whose works are present in permanent public collections around the world. A strong piece destined to enrich high-end modern interiors or sophisticated contemporary art collections.
