As one of the leading artists of concrete art, Piero Dorazio was dedicated to the phenomena of light and colour in his works. Finding inspiration in Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism, Dorazio's œuvre always displayed the for him characteristic consistent geometry and structure. For his abstract visual language, Dorazio predominantly used primary colours, which he overlays, combines, strings together and repeats in a series of different patterns.
