Alighiero Boetti

ll progressivo svanire della consuetudine

1990

A meticulously ordered grid of colored squares radiates with the systematic yet poetic logic that defined Boetti's practice, suggesting the gradual dissolution of habit and familiarity through subtle chromatic shifts. The work embodies Boetti's characteristic interplay between order and chance, inviting the viewer to contemplate the slow erosion of the familiar over time.
