Multiple in felt: cloth and collage on canvas - Signed, dated and numbered on the back

Untitled (Collage) by Piero Dorazio, created in 1974, is a vibrant and dynamic composition made of cloth and felt collaged onto canvas. The artwork features horizontal, torn-like strips of bright colors, including shades of red, green, blue, orange, and white, set against a deep blue background. The irregular, organic shapes of the colored strips create a sense of movement and rhythm across the canvas, characteristic of Dorazio's exploration of geometric abstraction. The juxtaposition of bold colors and the texture of felt adds a tactile quality to the piece, making it visually engaging and texturally rich. This limited edition work is part of an edition of 75, signed, dated, and numbered on the back. Measuring 95 x 125 cm, it highlights Dorazio's mastery in combining color, form, and texture.

Piero Dorazio (Italy, 1927–2005) was a painter and theorist associated with post-war abstraction and the development of European geometric art. Known for his vibrant, dynamic compositions of intersecting lines and radiant colors, Dorazio explored light and spatial relationships. His work contributed significantly to the international abstract art movement.

Piero Dorazio

Collage di Triangoli, 1991

Limited Edition Print

Piero Dorazio (b. 1927 Italy, d. 2005 Italy) was a prominent Italian artist celebrated for his contributions to abstract painting and his exploration of color and form. A founding member of the influential Italian art group Forma 1, Dorazio sought to promote abstract art in post-war Italy, drawing inspiration from Futurism, Constructivism, and international avant-garde movements. His work is characterized by vibrant, intersecting lines and luminous color fields that create dynamic and rhythmic compositions, conveying a sense of movement and optical vibration. Throughout his career, Dorazio remained committed to the expressive potential of pure color and geometric abstraction, believing in the spiritual and transformative power of art. He exhibited extensively across Europe and the United States, and his work has had a lasting impact on the development of abstract art in the 20th century. (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.
