In the Koenigshof Collection impresses Rinaldo Paluzzi with its harmonious proportions and balanced composition of geometric elements. In addition to his paintings, he also created objects and large sculptures. He is best known for his impressive 14-meter-high stainless steel “Totem” for the Celebration Plaza in White River State Park in Indianapolis, Indiana.
His work in the Koenigshof Collection impresses with its harmonious proportions and balanced composition of geometric elements. As in Op Art, which creates an illusion of three-dimensionality through its design, Paluzzi achieves the idea of movement and spatial depth with his sophisticated placement of elements. This dynamic is characteristic of his abstract expressionist art.
