Tela estrofelessa and Tempera // Agostino Bonalumi's Giallo (1979) is a striking mixed-media work that utilizes the technique of tela estroflessa (stretched canvas) combined with tempera. The monochromatic yellow surface is sculpted into rhythmic, three-dimensional forms, creating an interplay of light and shadow that shifts depending on the viewer's perspective. These protrusions and indentations lend a dynamic, architectural quality to the canvas, as if the artwork is emerging from within. Bonalumi’s use of a single color emphasizes the purity of form and depth, inviting contemplation of spatiality and the limits of two-dimensional surfaces in art.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
