Monocromi contigui brings together fifteen works that accompany the viewer through the main stages of Tancredi Fornasetti’s research, offering a broad and articulated reading of the evolution of his poetic and formal language. The exhibition unfolds as a path that allows one to observe how, over the years, the artist has progressively refined his sensitivity toward the construction of space, the relationship between light and color, and the role of geometry in defining the pictorial surface.

The presented works confirm the distinctive traits of his practice — compositional rigor, chromatic essentiality, attention to material, and the balance between full and empty — while at the same time renewing them by introducing new reflections linked both to the present and to his personal and professional evolution.

In this continuous exchange between color and structure, between balance and instability, Fornasetti’s work finds new depth. Architectural imagination becomes a key for inhabiting color, crossing its stratifications, and exploring that subtle territory in which painting becomes space, time, and perception together. The works thus reveal themselves as sensitive thresholds, places of transition where what is defined coexists with what is becoming, and where the gaze is called to actively construct what it sees.

Monocromi contigui, retracing the artist’s evolution, captures the moment in which his work opens up to new possibilities: a dynamic point of balance where past and present dialogue, allowing future directions of his research to emerge.
