Dadamaino

Born Eduarda Emilia Maino, Dadamaino was an eclectic and multifaceted protagonist of the Milanese avant-garde after the Second World War and was very close to the group of the Italian Spazialisti.
Her works entitled Volumes, great canvases interrupted by large elliptical holes that are reminiscent of Lucio Fontana, illustrate the artist's ability to transmit a sense of lightness.
In her distinctive excursus, starting from an initial uniqueness of the gesture and from a poetical removal, Dadamaino soon moved on to a concept of multiplication and hoarding, which, through ever more innovative solutions and materials, gave life to a rich corpus centred on the subconscious and research into marks. From the first of the Volumi, then the Inconsci Razionali and Alfabeti della mente, to her more recent Movimenti delle cose, the artist irrepressible ability to perpetuate a refined lightness in all her works shines out.
