About the Artist
Rudolf Stingel is a significant Italian artist recognized for his highly conceptual and formally innovative approach to painting and installation. His practice systematically deconstructs the traditional act of painting, exploring its materials, processes, and contexts. Stingel is renowned for his monochromatic works, often created by pressing gauze onto a painted surface, and for his large-scale, reflective silver paintings that invite viewer interaction through touch or inscription. He also produces immersive carpet installations, which serve as both artworks and social spaces, directly involving the audience in the creation of the piece. Stingel’s work fundamentally questions notions of originality, authorship, and the ephemeral nature of art.
