Mixed technique on plywood. Signed and dated on the reverse. It is an early work by Gioppè di Bella, the artist originally from Trapani who, having moved to Milan and frequenting his artistic milieu, came to become one of the exponents of Optical Art. Gioppe Di Bella starting from 1972, seeking the essence of forms, he arrived at the first geometric works, in which the circle became the basic element. The work proposed here belongs to this period, a rigorously geometric and orderly composition of chipboard cylinders, painted in different ranges of blue-azure, and applied on an aluminum sheet mounted on a plywood panel. Di Bella progressively approached the liberation from two-dimensionality, and from 1975 to 1985, he began to create large tableaux using modern technology materials, such as specular plexiglass, stainless steel and polyurethane foam, thus tackling the problem of optical illusion and the constancy of form.
