- Abstract
"Combustion" (1961) by Alberto Burri exemplifies his exploration of Art informel, emphasizing matter and materiality within an abstract context. The work layers charred, torn, and textured fabrics, creating a dynamic, tactile surface that conveys the physical and emotional impact of destruction and transformation. Burri’s polymaterialist approach and connection to spatialism inform his use of unconventional materials, reflecting his interest in the physical properties of matter. "Combustion" embodies his innovative fusion of art and material experimentation, emphasizing the visceral qualities of the physical world.
