Alberto Biasi — Scorpione
Alberto Biasi

Scorpione

1988

Alberto Biasi's *Scorpione* is a painted wood relief that exemplifies the artist's mastery of optical and kinetic art, using precisely arranged wooden elements to create a dynamic sense of movement and depth. The interplay of color and geometric form evokes the angular, segmented silhouette of a scorpion, blurring the boundary between sculpture and painting. True to Biasi's practice as a founding member of Italy's Gruppo N, the work engages the viewer's perception, shifting subtly as one moves around it.
