The indisputable artistic personality of Antonio Saporito
They wrote about him:
“Substantially, Saporito formulates the poetics of a new spatialism understood as a fusion of subjectivity and objectivity that often makes use of the reiteration of the image ordered with precision in space. Saporito aspires to the universal and his spatialism is closely related to the absolute formal invention.” GIORGIA CASSINI
“Referring in part to the guidelines of Constructionism, Saporito explores the space of his metal sheets, assigning precise geometrical shapes to them, not alluding to anything in particular other than their own evidence of being” PAOLO LEVI
“In his visual experimentation appears imprinted to a severity that seems to leave no space for fantasy, in reality this artist expresses emotions and thoughts that become signs and substance. “ VITTORIO SGARBI
Saporito's research of geometric space is projected more and more in the search of beyond, what we have in front of us.
With right among the spatialists, Antonio Saporito referred to great artists like Atanasio Soldati, one of the head figures of the Italian Abstractionism, Matt Moore, Max Bill and others who influenced his youth research.
