Object, paint nails on wood // Composizione by Paul Van Hoeydonck, created in 1964, is a mixed media sculpture that embodies the artist's experimental approach to form and texture. The piece consists of plaster casts and painted elements mounted on a textured wooden panel, featuring fragmented and abstract shapes resembling human limbs, some painted red, emerging from the surface. The use of contrasting colors and the rough texture of the background create a sense of tension and movement, inviting the viewer to contemplate the disjointed forms and their interaction with space. Van Hoeydonck’s work often explores the human figure and its abstraction, emphasizing the tension between representation and abstraction.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
