Ferro trasparente bianco V
1966
A dynamic, flat sculptural form crafted from painted iron, "Ferro trasparente bianco V" exemplifies Consagra's pioneering exploration of the frontal plane, challenging traditional notions of three-dimensional sculpture. The stark white paint accentuates the cutout negative spaces within the iron sheet, creating an interplay of solid and void that draws the eye across its intricate, almost calligraphic silhouette. This work reflects Consagra's lifelong commitment to a two-dimensional sculptural language, inviting the viewer to engage with the piece as both object and relief.
