“The American artist collaborative, Anonima Group, was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1960 by Ernst Benkert, Francis Hewitt and Ed Mieczkowski. Propelled by their rejection of the cult of the individual ego and automatic style of the Abstract Expressionists, the artists worked collaboratively on grid-based, spatially fluctuating drawings and paintings that were precise investigations of the scientific phenomena and psychology of optical perception. The work was accompanied by writings: proposals, projects and manifestos - socialist in nature - which the artists considered essential to the experience and understanding of their work.” anonimagroup
Felice Varini born 1952, Lorcano, Switzerland, “Varini is known for his geometric perspective-localized paintings of rooms and other spaces, using projector-stencil techniques. Felice paints on architectural and urban spaces, such as buildings, walls and streets. The paintings are characterized by one vantage point from which the viewer can see the complete painting (usually a simple geometric shape such as circle, square, line), while from other view points the viewer will see ‘broken’ fragmented shapes.” (wikipedia)
“The work of Jan van der Ploeg has it roots in Piet Mondriaan’s Neo plasticism and De Stijl movement connected to Theo van Doesburg. Jan van der Ploeg’s works of art connect painting, sculpture, system and serial production.”
