Chromatic contrast and material tension
“AGN D 34” (2017) by Alberto Gallingani belongs to the mature phase of his research, characterized by the fusion of formal rigor and material intensity. The work presents a structured visual construction in which the pictorial gesture unfolds within a controlled framework.
Executed with acrylic and paper on canvas mounted on panel, the composition is defined by strong chromatic contrasts. Fields of deep blue and gestural black are disrupted by an intense yellow, applied through rapid brushstrokes and drips that introduce a dynamic and unstable element.
The inclusion of paper elements and the word “TOXIC” introduces a conceptual layer that expands the reading of the work, connecting the pictorial dimension to a reflection on contemporary reality. The work is part of Gallingani’s Metarealism, where structure, matter, and content are brought into dialogue.
