Sebastiano Fini - Untitled

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

As we can see from this work, Sebastiano Fini's abstract art begins with the human figure and transfigures it through a process of geometric reconstruction and seriality. For this reason, his pictorial production, rather than harking back to the perceptual demands of the early abstract avant-garde, takes on an existential tone that underlies deeper reflections. In some ways, Fini's figures remind us of the depersonalization of Renato Mambor's cold silhouettes or the repetitiveness of Mario Ceroli's outlines. However, in Fini we do not discern the former's vibrant pop influence, nor the latter's affiliation with Arte Povera: rather, he pursues his own original path of rationalist and balanced compositions that bring him back into the fold of existential abstraction.

Sebastiano Fini was born in 1949 in Dorno. He was a sculptor, visual artist, photographer, musician, and set designer. He lived in Milan until 1978, then went to work in France and Spain. Midway through his career (1981-1985), he isolated himself on the island of Panarea. Upon his return to the world, he lived in Mogliano Veneto for four years, then divided his work between Pietrasanta, Los Angeles, and Marseille, where he passed away in 2003.
