Alberto Biasi
Visione Dinamica

1961

About the Item

A founding member of the groundbreaking Italian artist collective Gruppo N, Alberto Biasi is a kinetic and Op art pioneer. He creates seemingly vibrating works with illusory tricks and precise geometry. Biasi was greatly inspired by Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto, whose kinetic sculptures he encountered at the 1958 Venice Biennale. In his own work, the artist explores the possibilities of mixing materials—including PVC strips, cotton gauzes, metal wires, and perforated cardboard—to create dizzying optical illusions that straddle two and three dimensions. From his earliest series, “Trame” (1959–60), which features frames that filter light to create a constellationlike effect, to his later moire-like works made of multicolored PVC strips on painted wooden boards, Biasi challenges perception through his dynamic use of color and light. Since Gruppo N’s disbandment in 1967, Biasi has exhibited in more than 100 solo exhibitions and 500 group shows, including the pivotal 1965 survey of Op and kinetic art, “The Responsive Eye,” at the Museum of Modern Art, and in prestigious international presentations, including representing Italy at the Venice Biennale in 1964 and 1986, as well as the São Paulo Bienal in 1971.

  • White Carpet - suspended kinetic sculpture
    By Tim Prentice
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    Celebrated artist Tim Prentice's kinetic sculpture "White Carpet" is made of PVC, aluminum and stainless steel. The surface of this suspended sculpture undulates as each individual piece moves with the air currents, creating a mesmerizing visual! The exact overall dimensions vary as the sculpture moves, but the dimensions when flat and still are 10' x 10'. The studio photoshoot for "White Carpet" was done by a large crew from BMW. They wanted to show the works against a blue sky with clouds because blue and white are the BMW colors! They used the footage for a video installation at the BMW headquarters in Munich. Please note that this sculpture is indoor only. Commissions for indoor and outdoor...
