Alberto Biasi

Alberto Biasi (Padua, Italy, 1937), Biassi studied Industrial Design in Venice. In 1959 he began his career as a sculptor and painter. Experimenting with the refraction of light and the use of unusual materials, he was an important part of the Arte Programatta, an expression used in Italy to refer to local works of kinetic art. During the sixties he became one of the major exponents of kinetic art on the international scene.
Biassi is considered among the most outstanding of contemporary kinetic art, a current that creates optical effects to generate the illusion of movement from light and color. He has a very long artistic career that has seen him at the center of a series of experimentations in the field of kinetic art and is currently considered a true master of this artistic field.
