Pope, Galli Giusepe – Red Painting in Rab 1

About the artist:

He was born in 1942 in Portogruaro, Italy. He graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, where he began his artistic evolution spanning more than three decades of creation.

His artistic development extends through a series of key phases:

• Early period of materiality and informel

• Constructivist and op-art phase influenced by Malevich and Vasarely (especially during the Parisian period of the 1970s)

• Geometric and structuralist stage

• Period of controlled gesturality and monochromy in the 1980s

In his later period, he developed a recognizable style characterized by:

• Radically pure color (light through color)

• Extremely refined tonal relationships

• Expressive power of color within strictly geometric systems

• Structural purity combining rational analysis with poetic vision

Throughout his career, he has held numerous solo and group exhibitions across Italy and Europe, consistently developing his vision of abstract art. Today, he lives and works in his native Portogruaro, where he continues his artistic explorations.
