Marco Casentini (La Spezia, IT, 1961)
Marco Casentini is an Italian artist who employs a minimalist aesthetic to create elegant abstract geometric paintings. With intensely saturated colors, Casentini’s paintings echo the atmosphere, tones, and light of the Italian coastline and Southern California. Exploiting the sharp precision, economy of form and fullness of color evident in Hard-Edge abstraction and Finish Fetish minimalism, Casentini successfully translates emotions and impressions into a non-objective language of colors, lines and shapes. Marco Casentini divides his time between Los Angeles and Milan, where he teaches at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. In 2005, Casentini received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant for his outstanding artistic contribution.
He has had solo exhibitions at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, Bakersfield, California; Riverside Art Museum, Riverside, California; CAMeC, La Spezia, Italy; Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, California; Museum für Konkrete Kunst, Ingolstadt, Germany; and Mestna Galerija, Nova Gorica, Slovenia. He is represented by art galleries in the United States, Milan, Munich, Frankfurt and Paris.
