Although Italo Scanga’s artwork is closely associated with the themes and iconography of his native southern Italy, it also shows the revealing and persistent influence of the abstract language of early modernism. In Metaphysical he takes a group of traditional columnar forms and reconfigures them with the cubist assemblage techniques of Picasso and Braque, while echoing the cinematic forms of Boccioni and the geometries of Brancusi.
