Riccardo Viganò
Viganò Ricardo is a contemporary Italian artist. Viganò Ricardo's optical artworks emerged as a result of the artist's explorations influenced by the experimental endeavors of the 1960s, particularly in the realm of programmatic and kinetic art. These artistic pursuits were in resonance with the efforts of the T and N Groups, hailing from Milan and Padua respectively. The programmatic and kinetic art of that era, closely aligned with the scientific and technological advancements of the economic boom, eventually adopted the name "optical art" over time. This suggestive term serves as the foundation for Riccardo Viganò's chosen titles for his works, which came into being in the year 2000.
These creations are both straightforward and intricate, composed of cardboard strips meticulously arranged in a grid-like configuration within the constrained, square spaces characteristic of optical compositions. These strips, each altering direction in a dynamic dance, intertwine and overlap, significantly influencing the viewer's perception of the artwork. The pieces spring to life through the artful manipulation of illusion, conjuring novel spaces and movements contingent upon the ambient lighting and the observer's vantage point.
Starting from 2010, the artist has embarked on employing paper and cardboard to craft relief artworks, still harnessing the potency of optical effects. Between 1980 and 2000, Viganò utilized acrylic colors, oil colors, and collages to shape his artistic expressions.
