Astrattismo in Italia nella raccolta Cernuschi Ghiringhelli - Genova - 1985

Crosa started painting in Argentina and after graduating in architecture in 1975, he moved to Italy. In the initial phase of his work, inspiration from pop art prevailed, visible in the revisitation of myths and famous people or in the ironic and detailed reconstruction of interiors. The 1980s characterised Crosa's artistic research in the direction of sign and colour. The work ‘Composizione’ is composed of a canvas and 3 soft, coloured cushions that propose a research, linked on the one hand to the three-dimensionalisation of the sign and on the other hand to the possibility that the work goes beyond the surface and can invade and arrange itself in an apparent randomness on the wall that houses it. The shapes of the cushions refer to the two-dimensional forms on the canvas, in a principle of contamination amplified by the choice of colours: yellow, red and purple.
