Lucio Fontana was an Italian-Argentine artist and founder of Spatialism. His “Concetti Spaziali”—canvases slashed or punctured with a knife—opened painting into real space, allowing shadow and depth to become structural elements. Fontana also created neon works, ceramics, and environments exploring the relationship between light, gesture, and void.
His practice redefined the boundary between painting and sculpture, emphasizing space as the central material.
