Turi Simeti — Cinque Ovali Bianchi
Turi Simeti

Cinque Ovali Bianchi

2006

A minimalist composition by Italian artist Turi Simeti, *Cinque Ovali Bianchi* features five white ovals rendered in acrylic on a shaped canvas, their subtle raised forms emerging from the surface through the artist's signature use of shaped stretcher bars beneath the fabric. The work exemplifies Simeti's lifelong dedication to the interplay between painting and sculpture, where light and shadow animate the monochromatic surface, creating a quiet yet dynamic rhythm. Rooted in the Italian Zero and Azimuth movements, this piece reflects a restrained elegance that challenges the traditional boundaries of the painted canvas.
