Superficie lunare

1971

Turcato employs an unconventional material combination of oil paint on foam rubber mounted on wood panel to create a lunar surface composition. The work demonstrates the artist's innovative approach to material experimentation during the early 1970s. The foam rubber substrate creates an inherently three-dimensional, textured quality that challenges traditional painting conventions. The title references the moon's surface, inviting viewers to consider celestial and otherworldly themes. This piece exemplifies mid-century Italian artistic exploration of texture, materiality, and surface innovation.
