Printed Wood. Signed in marker at the bottom.

Sculptura 762 (2024) by Marcello Morandini is a hexagonal printed wood sculpture that exemplifies his mastery of geometric abstraction and optical play. Radiating from a central hexagon, a series of sharply angled black, white, and pale blue forms generate a hypnotic sense of depth and motion. The work's precision and clarity create a dynamic visual rhythm, inviting the viewer’s eye to spiral inward. Morandini, a key figure in Op Art and Concrete Art, fuses spatial design with graphic exactitude. This signed edition of 20 (+IV artist proofs), measuring 40 x 35 x 3 cm, reflects his continued exploration of structure and perception.

Marcello Morandini (Italy, 1940) is a celebrated architect, designer, and artist, renowned for his geometric and optical art. His bold black-and-white compositions explore spatial perception, blending art with functional design. Morandini’s innovative approach has positioned him as a key figure in the international Op Art and Constructivist movements.

In geometry lies our freedom.
- Marcello Morandini

Marcello Morandini, the International Museum of Ceramic Design president, is an Italian household name known for his graphic design, sculpture, and architectural works. He prides himself on his visual style that involves the assembly of simple repetitive shapes, mostly in black and white, and turning them into complex pieces.

His repeated shapes generally concentrate more on form than superficial aesthetics. Through his visual style, Marcello Morandini collects effortless repetitive figures and amazingly builds them into complex objects with an utmost taste of creativity. His choice of materials and techniques comprise wood panels and glossy glass. Morondini’s black and white style earned him a title as the architect of the day.

Significant artworks of this world-renowned architect and designer include the Bine chair for Sawaya and Moroni, the Museum fur Konkrete Kunst entrance in Germany, a table lamp for Tecnodelta, a cabinet Valentina and Spyder table for residential baleri Bergamo, and the bench owned by Cleto Munari among other artworks fitting the geometry sculpture depicting visual description. He became a member of the jury of Design Center in Essen in 1994. In 2004, the Royal Society for Arts in London appointed him the Royal Designer for Industry for the ceramic arts. (Artist website)

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.
