Description
Calligraphic relief. A series of engravings for Mario Lunetta
Bruno Aller is a painter and engraver, a great master of Abstractism. His works can be easily recognised due to symbols, gestures and the layering technique he applies. For Aller, canvas represents a surface that he can use to reflect on where the combines the projectual form with emotional one using colours and symbols that characterise his works. Many of his works contain a vanishing point which might be useful when restarting the itinerary; the meditation upon the painting, which, as the artist tends to say “is not life, but is like life; it is so exceptional that you cannot live without it”.
Follows an important and significant calligraphic relief from 2007 with an interesting starting price!
