Bonalumi is one of the figures who has made the most significant
marks on the Italian artistic scene starting from the 1960s. He
took part in the cultural debate that developed in those years,
contributing decisively, together with Enrico Baj, Piero Manzoni
and Enrico Castellani, to the transcending of informal language in
the name of a new objectification of the artwork. Starting from
1959, Agostino Bonalumi began to create shaped works using convex
canvas obtained through the use of wooden or steel elements
positioned behind the canvas itself. This is a stylistic
characteristic that was to remain unchanged over the years and that
would lead to the artist testing his skills in both the sculptural
and the environmental/architectural fields. Through a special
selection of works of small dimensions, created by the artist
during the entire course of his career, one can look back to his
conceptual and project path, from the convex canvases to his
sculptural production. The sophisticated results of the artist's
research are achieved here also thanks to a more intimate
dimension, in which he employs his own methodological approach. The
works presented here are neither preparatory models nor sketches of
works of larger dimensions: rather, they have come about from the
same practice and sometimes share the conformation of the larger
works. The small format works were often realised following the
larger ones, as if the reduced dimensions enabled the artist to
better delineate the project idea lying at the basis of the latter.
