Angelo Bozzola was a great experimenter of innovative techniques and materials applied not only to the field of painting and sculpture but also to industrial design, with an approach that was always analytical and process-oriented, and an anticipator of many aesthetic issues such as the contamination of languages and the concept of usability of the work. In the work ‘Spazio 15B grande scultura’ Bozzola inserts a personal and identifying form of his research that he calls ‘Monoforma trapezio ovoidale’. On the sheet metal by means of an oxyhydrogen flame the artist draws his shape continuously for dozens of examples, obtaining a contrast between the smooth and cold parts of the sheet metal and the rough and sharp parts determined by the passage of the flame. The result is characterised by modular elements that are duplicated and concatenated according to precise logical-mathematical schemes, with results of great elegance and compositional balance.
