| Early 1970s: Round pictures, like the sun |

During these years he paints his first
“rounds” which are circular pictures of a variable
diameter. Sometimes he fitted them to rectangular structures
made of wood or steel; and at other times he let them oscillate
alone, without a frame.
At the beginning his idea had been that they should be hung
on the ceiling and therefore looked at from below, (in a one–man
show at the Bank Circle of Udine, he actually did hang them
on the ceiling). However this could only be done when the paintings
were smooth because the lumps of colour were often so dense
that they risked falling off, and furthermore they took a long
time to dry. They were almost always painted as monochromes,
white or red or orange or brown, that is to say, in his way
of interpreting nature, suns, sunrises, sunsets or earths drenched
with light. |
