"Cromostruttura" by Lucia di Luciano features a vibrant composition of magenta and yellow squares arranged in a grid pattern, creating an optical effect through repetition and symmetry. The artwork embodies geometric abstraction, drawing on optical art and embracing spontaneity within its structured design. Di Luciano, a key figure in the Arte Programmata movement, uses this piece to explore color theory and geometric precision, reflecting the post-war utopian spirit of redefining artistic form and concept with technological innovation. ...
Lucia di Luciano’s artistic journey is rich and multifaceted, rooted in her early work within Italian geometric abstraction. She continues to explore the vast possibilities of painting with bold creativity and a deep sense of freedom. Her recent works condense the history of abstract art into pieces that feel essential, liberated, and emotionally resonant. As a prominent figure in the Arte Programmata movement, she contributed to experimental artistic ventures that sought to redefine the relationship between individual creativity and collective processes through emerging technologies. This post-war movement carried a utopian spirit, aiming to innovate both form and concept. Over time, di Luciano immersed herself in color theory before reintegrating vibrant color into her practice with renewed intuition. Moving beyond earlier formal rigor, her recent paintings embrace spontaneity and deconstruction while remaining firmly connected to the broader tradition of abstraction. Her work features a distinctive visual language, combining repetition, geometry, ornamentation, and automatic drawing to create compositions that reference styles such as optical art and expressionism, yet maintain a uniquely original character. Through this layered approach, di Luciano has established herself as an important and innovative figure in modern abstract painting. ...
