An exponent of the Italian and international analytical painting movement of the 1960s, Giorgio Griffa (Turin, 1936) trained with the painter and intellectual Filippo Scroppo, who introduced him to abstract art (especially concrete art).
Griffa’s art is an art that will go far beyond his figurative ‘tradition’: it initially winds its way between informal art and concrete art with some influences from American pop art, from which various projects will be born, including ‘primary signs’, a cycle in which the artist will mainly use. free canvases, often without any frame, with the idea that painting is “a constant unfinished”.
