Aca - Processing: BACKGROUND 1625

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

The work is a perfect example of the "sequential" art that ACA, Antonio Calabria, has developed throughout his work, in the guise of a decidedly sign-driven Informal art. The sign is the painting's protagonist, continually reiterating its figurations on the surface. The canvas thus becomes an existential plot, a journey of intersections, hermetic images, and symbols, where each artist must find their own path. Formally, everything is resolved by taking into account the other two fundamental components of Informal aesthetics, in addition to the sign: material and gesture. The traced paths, dictated by the artist's perception of reality, truly take on a lived form thanks to ACA's elaborate execution, which also leverages experimentation with various materials and pictorial media.

Angelo Calabria, also known as ACA, is an Italian artist whose paintings have been widely exhibited nationally. His works explore the spatial-temporal language of sign, as well as the evolution of artistic communication in the technological age. Calabria describes his artistic process as a translation of digital language through traditional media. He creates using acrylics and enamels on canvas or wood.
