Field Notes:

Grids and angled planes hold color so that figure and ground flip between diagram and window

Defining Moment:

The relief like paintings where orthogonal cuts and offsets turn the wall into a shallow structural device rather than a neutral support

Antonio Cane

(

1935–

)

an-tone-ee-oh kah-neh

Cane built a world where concrete abstraction becomes rhythm — planes and intersections forming lucid chromatic grids.

His works clarify structure through reduction.

Structural Focus

Space as Drawing

Line, frame, or interval organizes space instead of filling it. Structure is articulated through placement rather than mass.

In Antonio Cane’s work, this approach appears where modular wooden systems articulate space through construction logic rather than enclosure.

Chromatic Fields

Color fields operate as spatial and structural organizers.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Geometry and logic replace expression and illusion.

Concrete Lineages

Concrete principles persist across generations and contexts.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Geometry as ethics

Geraldo de Barros

Design as ethics

In Dialogue

Waldemar Cordeiro

System as civic language

Repetition as devotion
