Sem título [Untitled]

A painter, draftsman, and graphic artist, Hermelindo Fiaminghi was an early contributor to the Concrete art movement that developed in São Paulo in the 1950s. This particular work is part of a series of three works from 1955, all untitled, reflecting upon his long-term interest in color to organize rhythmic, geometric compositions. In each, circles come into conflict with a grid. Whether his forms spiral outwards, repeat in varied sizes, or lie flat on top of each other, they create the impression of an ambiguous three-dimensional space.
