"AGN S 18" (2018) represents a further evolution in Alberto Gallingani's research, where the dialogue between geometry and instinct becomes even more intense. In this work, created with acrylic on canvas (50 x 72 cm), the artist explores the surface as a field of opposing forces: on one side the rigor of the structure, on the other the energy of the pictorial gesture.
The format offers a compact yet intense spatiality, ideal for appreciating the quality of the color layers. True to the principles of Metarealism, Gallingani doesn't limit himself to pure abstraction, but instead incorporates elements that evoke the complexity of reality. The tonal contrasts are designed to guide the eye through a layering of marks that seem to emerge from the background of the canvas, creating a sense of depth that is not only visual but also conceptual.
It is a work that confirms the artist's stylistic maturity, capable of synthesizing decades of experimentation (from Utopian Geometry to social criticism) in a vibrant composition of great contemporary impact.
