Gastone Biggi, who died on September 29, 2014, was a great painter as well as a poet, musicologist, essayist, and teacher.
His works are distinguished for their cultural multiplicity. Spanning the late 20th and early 21st centuries, they are an invaluable testament to a time that saw more changes than any other period in history.
Throughout his life and career, Gastone Biggi exhibited at biennials and quadrennials and had several solo shows in Italy and abroad.
In addition to being the main representative and theorist of Gruppo Uno, founded in 1962, Biggi was a classical music expert and an accomplished poet and art historian.
Bisny: Da Bisanzio a New York (Bisny: From Byzantium to New York) conveyed his opinions on Western art.
His many works include the series Colature (Drippings), Variabili (Variables), Tangenziali (Tangentials), Campi (Fields), Icone (Icons), Costellazioni (Constellations), and Cosmocromie.
The Continui series represents his first foray into abstract art, an intensely personal and unique study that took him beyond his Informal phase.
Gastone Biggi believed we could not disassociate painting from music. As we read in his notes, he painted the Continui series horizontally like a huge musical score. The master consciously gave his paintings continuity over hours and days, Like a true musical performance.
In the 1970s Continui transformed into Variabili and dots became the main subject of his paintings.
“Instead of imagining or conceiving his paintings, Biggi is constantly operative, acknowledging, and communicating. He weaves patterns that would always be the same if they could, only they cannot, because hands cannot make the same mark twice and identity does not exist…” – Giulio Carlo Argan, 1971
