Lot description

Oil on canvas Titled, signed, and dated on the back. Photo authentication by Gastone Biggi, stamp of Galleria Art Time Srl. The work is a typical example of Biggi's art, always driven by an irrepressible rhythmic need, essential and profoundly musical. "In Biggi, the mechanical repetition of a continuous, infinite line betrays, as in a cardiogram, the uncontrolled impulses of an internal rhythm that in his previous paintings provoked sudden areas of accumulation or rarefaction in the dense fabric of the color drips, and an infinity of small stretch marks." (Palma Bucarelli) Biggi doesn't imagine or conceive the painting; he places himself in a constant operational position: he receives and communicates. He thus weaves a scheme, a pattern that, if it could, would always be the same. It can't be, because the hand can't make the same sign twice, and identity doesn't exist; rather, existence is non-identity. The second sign (although they are all round) already contains the experience of the first, is influenced by it, attracted or repelled by it, belongs to a certain time, and is located in a different point in space. (Giulio Carlo Argan) Critical selection published by the Gastone Biggi Foundation.
