Angelo Brescianini - unique artwork in steel plate with gun shots

Unique artwork by Angelo Brescianini on stainless steel plate 100 x 100 cm formed by 140 22 caliber pistol shots. The work bears a description, artist's signature and archive details on the back. The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and catalogue where included. The artistic experience of Angelo Brescianini (Palazzolo sull'Oglio, 1948) began in the late 1960s, when in 1968 he participated in the Padua Biennale with a typically informal work. In the 1970s, the spirit of tireless research led the artist to abandon the canvas and colors, to devote himself to sculpture. They are abstract wooden sculptures, which from the mid-1980s are equipped with mechanisms that expand the expressive possibilities linked to the form: these are kinetic works of art, where movement becomes a fundamental element. The transition from static to dynamic sculptures is dictated by the need to create works capable of communicating differently with each new gaze of the observer.

A further evolution of this kind of creations occurs from 1994-95 when the devices that give the movement will no longer be activated by the observer: the work will be equipped with its own motion, almost as if they came to life.

In 2001, Brescianini began to experiment with new execution techniques that will lead to the creation of the series “Espansioni”, consisting of paintings made by shooting against the surfaces of the support.
