Pope, Galli Giusepe – Red Painting in Rab 2

About the author:

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 creativity.

His artistic development spans a series of key phases:

• Early period of materiality and informal art

• 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 gesturalism and monochromy in the 1980s

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

• Radically pure color (light through color)

• Exceptionally 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. He still lives and works in his native Portogruaro, where he continues his artistic explorations.
