The artist Luis Tomasello, born in Argentina and based in Paris, stands out in the kinetic art scene, so much so that he has been represented by Galerie Denise René in the French capital since 1958. Taking Mondrian as inspiration, he carried out his first kinetic experiment on the plane and then explored the first reliefs that, in a pioneering way, reflected on the effects of colors and the phenomena of light.
Tomasello, who began as a concrete artist, is most famous for his "Atmosphère chromoplastique" works, where white cubes with painted undersides are arranged at different angles on a white surface. This results in reflections, and an optical sensation of movement, exploiting the effects obtained by the reflection of the vibration of light.
Biography
Luis Tomasello
Tomasello trained in Argentina, but after settling in France, he joined the ranks of the kinetic artists of his generation. His work ranges from the kinetic to the constructive. He was featured in the important exhibition La Lumière et le Mouvement in 1967 and, like Le Parc, Soto and Cruz-Diez, was represented by Galerie Denise René. His Atmosphères chromoplastiques (Chromoplastic Atmospheres) are the most iconic works of his career, in which, by superimposing white cubes on a white background, the artist manages to create an optical illusion through light and shadow.
His work has been exhibited in institutions such as MALBA – Buenos Aires; Musée National d'Art Moderne – Paris; Museum of Contemporary Art - Madrid and Haus Ludwig Museum – Saarlouis. It also features in the public collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery – Buffalo; New York University Museum – New York and KrMüller Museum – Otterlo.
