Mario Nigro, Total Space, 1955

"As attested by the works Untitled (1951) and Total Space (1955), Nigro’s painterly experience in the ranks of the MAC too place in the context of a geometric abstraction that was based, as was the case for many other artists, on the lessons of Mondrian: his intersecting grids suggest spatial concatenations in which emerges the idea of a rhythmical sign-based arrangement in order to create destabilising spatial and temporal situations that tend towards the absolute".
