Overview

Italian artist Marco Casentini employs minimalist aesthetic to create elegant geometric abstract paintings.  With intensely saturated colors, Casentini's paintings echo the atmosphere, hues, and light of the Italian and Southern California coasts. Harnessing the crisp precision, economy of form, and fullness of color evident in Hard-Edge abstraction and "Finish Fetish" minimalism, Casentini successfully translates emotions and impressions into a non-objective language of color, line, and form

 

Marco Casentini divides his time between Los Angeles and Milan where he teaches at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.  Casentini was awarded the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2005 for his outstanding artistic contributions.  He has had solo exhibitions at The Bakersfield Museum of Art, Bakersfield, California; The Riverside Art Museum, Riverside, California;  CAMeC, La Spezia, Italy; Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, California; Museum für Konkrete Kunst, Ingolstadt,Germany; and Mestna Galerija, Nova Gorica, Slovenia.  He is represented in art galleries in the United States, Milan, Munich, Frankfurt and Paris.
